C1/// The smallest calorimeter in the world
The C 1 is a tiny giant. It takes up hardly any space in thelaboratory, yet offers a high degree of automation. Where there
is no need for compliance with standards, however calorificvalues still need to be determined or processes tested with a highdegree of accuracy, this calorimeter makes life so much easier.
It works according to the isoperibolic principle and with a static
jacket. This makes the C 1 a strong partner for industrial andtesting laboratories.

C1 Functions
The light, easy-to-attach combustion chamber replaces thedecomposition vessel with a screw cap.
The unit functions fully automatically, which makes it particularly user-friendly.

It is especially popular in: the waste management industry, thefoodstuffs and animal feed industry as well as in the construction
materials sector.

Technical data AOD

AOD Decomposition System
Decomposition under oxygen (O2) and pressure is known as
active oxidative decomposition, or AOD. As with the calorimeterdecomposition vessel, the liquid or solid sample is fully combusted in the AOD system. Unlike conventional decomposition
vessels, the innovative AOD 1 has both chlorine resistance anda catalytically-active interior surface. The catalysts encourage
chemical reactions during the combustion process and ultimately
lead to increased recovery rates with halogens and sulfur.

TECHNICAL DATA

A large number of global standards for a vast range of sample
materials describes this bomb decomposition technology (e.g.
DIN 51727, DIN 51723, DIN EN 14582, DIN EN ISO 16994, DIN
EN 15408, ASTM D 4208).

RC 2 basic circulating chiller

IKA Pilotina dry milling system

The RC circulating chillers provide an even starting temperature
for any calorimetric measurement. This improves the reproducability of measurement results. The RC 2 basic is a highly efficient
recirculating chiller with a powerful 400 W refrigeration capacity
for chilling down to -20°C. Up to 2.5 liters of thermofluid forthe external chilling circuit can be supplied from the high-quality
insulated 4-liter reservoir without refilling. The speed-controlled
PEEK pump enables indirect, continuous setting of the maximum
pressure and volume flow.

The Pilotina dry mill has two milling systems for homogenizing
sample material: a cutting mill system for soft, sticky, elastic or
fibrous materials such as plant parts, plastic and feed pellets;
and an impact milling system for hard and brittle materials suchas coal, glass, ores or seeds. The degree of fineness can be set
precisely.

The excellent temperature constancy of ± 0.1K (at -10°C) issufficient for even challenging applications. The integrated filling
funnel and outlet valve enable safe, clean handling of the coolant
and the air filter is easy to clean thanks to the easy-to-open front
flap.

The Pilotina achieves excellent crushing quality in a short time
and therefore ensures high representation for your samples.
Thanks to the powerful, frequency-controlled 3 kW drive with adigital display, the circumferential speed can be optimally set to
the respective milling process for your application requirements.
The smart device design also enables easy, fast cleaning.

From Sample to Calorific Value
When using a combustion calorimeter, the heat that is createdfrom a sample is measured during its combustion under controlled conditions. In the decomposition vessel - the so-calledbomb - the sample is burned with an excess of oxygen. The
resulting heat is given off into the environment and measured. To
prevent disruptive external temperature influences, the system issurrounded with a jacket.

The Measurement Process
About one gram of a solid or a liquid is weighed out in a crucible
and placed in the “bomb”. The sample in the crucible is connected to the ignition wire by a cotton thread. The vessel is thenfilled with oxygen (30 bar) and the sample combusted. During
the combustion process, the core temperature of the crucible canincrease to 1,000°C. This also increases the pressure. All organic
material is combusted under these conditions.

Dynamic Measurement Method
C 6000 global standards
C 6000 isoperibol
C 200

The heat produced during the combustion process can now be
determined. The measurement result is then designated as thecalorific value.

the isoperibolic calorimeter, the critical difference being that thejacket is not controlled - it is static. On the C 1, the aluminum jacket is the pressure-retaining container. There is still an insulating
layer of air around the calorimeter housing and the jacket. Whenthe temperature profile is considered, the behavior of the C 1 issimilar to that of an isoperibolic measurement process. The same
correction calculation can be used here as for the isoperibolic
calorimeter according to Regnault-Pfaundler.

The IKA dynamic processes are essentially shorter versions of theoriginal adiabatic and/or isoperibolic measurement processes.
However, the measurement results still comply with the relative
standard deviation (RSD) for the official standards.

With an isoperibolic calorimeter, the temperature in the jacket(Tov) is kept constant throughout the test. This results in alower heat flow. Environmental factors are minimized throughair-conditioning to keep the effects of room temperaturefluctuations as small as possible. However, after the test, acorrection factor (Regnault-Pfaundler = ξ) that takes the heatflow into account is calculated.

Doppel­trockenes
CalorimeterWith the double-dry calorimeter, the temperature increasein the decomposition vessel itself is measured. The latter issurrounded by a large aluminum jacket. The combustion heat isthus measured directly and not transferred to the water in the
inner vessel, as with conventional calorimeters. This saves a lotof time. The result - depending on the chosen pre-test time - isa measurement period of just 3 minutes per test. This method
is predominantly used in the waste management industry. The
actual measurement process behaves similarly to an isoperibolicmeasurement, albeit with a comparatively very large drift in preand post-testing.

FAQs
Which calorimeter is most suitable for my application andrequirements?

What are the min. and max. calorific values that I can measure with the calorimeter?

Where do I find a list of spare parts and how many of these
do I need?

The main questions that should be answered are as follows:
1. How many experiments do you plan on conducting ina day?
2. Are there any standards that have to be followed, suchas ISO, ASTM, DIN, GB, GOST etc.?
3. Do samples contain halogens and sulphur and if so, what isthe concentration (approximately)?
4. Is it required to analyze the halogens and sulphur content
after the calorimeter experiment has concluded?
5. Do you prefer any of the following methods: adiabatic,
isoperibol, static jacket isoperibol, dry or dynamic?

The max. allowed energy input into our calorimeters is 40,000
J. The calorific value of a sample is always expressed in energy
per weight (J/g). Based on that information, you can adjust theweight of your sample such that it does not exceed 40,000 J. Theenergy amount created by the sample should not be significantly
higher than the one obtained during calibration with benzoic
acid. Our calorimeters do have a high measuring sensitivity andcan detect low quantities of energy. For example, the ignitionenergy of 70 J can be measured with an absolute error of ± 20 J.
The relative error rises naturally (± 30%) hyperbolically the smaller
the energy input is. If your sample has a very low calorific value
you can also use combustion aids, since they add energy to thecalorimeter to minimize the error.

We offer sets of spare parts that include parts for 1000 experiments e.g. 1 year operation. The actual amount of spare parts
can vary based on the application. If a specific spare part is required, you can find further information in the service section of
the operating manual. In addition, under the “Service” section of
our website (www.ika.com), you can download service drawings
with detailed descriptions of each part. Alternatively, you canalways contact our service department for further information
and assistance.

How can I get the gross and net calorific value – easily
explained?

How do I know my calorimeter is still in calibration?
Most customers operate their calorimeters with control charts.
After calibrating the unit, check runs are performed with benzoic
acid, for instance. The results of these check runs have to matchthe certified calorific value of the benzoic acid within a defined
range. The definition of the range is laid out in standards and thefrequency of doing these checks differs from one a day, to one
after and before every sample. The control charts show the performance of the unit under the previously described circumstanceover a long period of time.

How often do I have to calibrate the calorimeter?
The control chart also shows when a new calibration might berequired.

When do I have to send in the decomposition vessel for highpressure inspection at IKA?
We recommend checking the vessel after 1000 experiments
or after 1 year of operation, whichever comes first. During theoverall inspection process we perform both a high pressure andan operating pressure test. A new certificate will be issued forthe vessel after it has passed both of these tests. More detailed
information can be found in the manual of your calorimeter and/or the manual of your decomposition vessel. Alternatively, you
can always contact your local service department for further
information and assistance.

A calorimeter measures the preliminary gross calorific value of thesample. To get the gross calorific value, correction calculations
are required for the acids formed during the combustion. For
instance, the method of titration used to obtain the amount of
nitric acid and sulphuric acid are described in detail in the standard ISO 1928. To get to the net calorific value, further corrections
need to be applied concerning the amount of water that wasformed during the combustion from hydrogen. Based on thestate (dry, analytical moisture, as received) your sample was in
before combustion, further corrections may apply. Moistures
are determined by drying the samples. The Hydrogen content isusually measured with an elemental analyzer. For a more detailed
explanation, we ask you to study the standards you might haveto use depending on your application requirements.
