Abstract:
1. A system for measuring thermal properties of fluids, the system comprising: an analysis chamber, the analysis chamber comprising a flask, a thermal waves cannon support, and a flask support, a system for thermal stabilization of the analysis chamber, said system for thermalization of the analysis chamber being thermally coupled to said analysis chamber; a sampler holder configured to receive a sample to be analyzed and to introduce said sample to said analysis chamber; a thermal waves cannon configured to generate thermal waves for analysis of a sample disposed within said analysis chamber; a thermal waves sensor configured to receive thermal waves generated by said thermal waves cannon and to generate a corresponding signal; a sample prethermalizer device; a movable probe configured to evaluate a sample; and a system of measure and control, said system of measure and control being operatively coupled to said thermal waves cannon, said thermal waves sensor, and said probe, said system of measurement and control comprising: a microprocessing system; and a resident software for processing and exhibiting data acquired during a measurement.
