Types of Bomb Calorimeters

Bomb Calorimeter Technology, and Types of Bomb Calorimeters

Bomb calorimeter is used to determine the energy value in different sectors. There are three different bomb calorimeter devices on the market, namely manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic. These devices, which serve to determine the calorie value, are designed according to the user's demands for the accuracy of the analysis results.

In manual calorimeter devices, the water filling process is performed by the user. These devices have the oldest technology and can lead to high deviations in calorie values. The realization of water filling by the user directly affects the analysis results, which may lead to an increase in the margin of error in the analysis. Therefore, manual calorimeter devices have wider deviation range, which has a limited performance in terms of accuracy.

Semi-automatic calorimeter devices perform water filling and discharge operations automatically. Thus, it is known that the accuracy of the analysis results in the system is higher and more reliable than manual models. After the system tests performed with CRM (Certificate Reference Material), the accuracy of the device analysis result is proved. In the semi-automatic bomb calorimeter device, the user fills oxygen into the analysis chamber with the help of the oxygen charge filling apparatus (oxygen charge).

The fully automatic bomb calorimeter device provides water and gas filling/discharging operations automatically. Unlike the semi-automatic bomb calorimeter device, the bomb calorimeter, which also completes the gas filling/discharge process automatically, is preferred by users who provide explosive or pyrotechnic analysis. It is widely used to minimize the negative impact of reactions that may occur in the analysis chamber to the user.

The bomb calorimeter device, which is used in three different model specifications, should be selected according to the sample content and application type to be used. Manual calorimeter devices are rarely preferred, as they have wider deviation ranges and have a limited performance in accuracy. Users who will perform analysis on biofuel, coal analysis or waste material prefer semi-automatic calorimeter devices provided with system tests with CRM in order to be sure of the accuracy of the analysis results. In addition, users working in defense industry applications such as pyrotechnics or explosives can choose a fully automatic model in order to increase the reliability of the analysis results, as well as to prevent damage that the sample may cause to the user.
