Adiabatic Reaction Calorimetry

The PHI-TEC is a computer controlled adiabatic calorimeter that can be used to determine the heat evolved and pressure developed during an uncontrolled exothermic runaway reaction. It enables the user to understand what may happen during a worst case scenario arising from mal-operation.

Specifically, the following information can be obtained:
- Exotherm 'onset' temperature with sensitivity of 0.2°C/minute (or better)
- Heat increase
- Global reaction kinetics
- Time to maximum rate (TMR)
- SADT (used in storage / transportation studies)
