Flexibility is Trump
Jun 14 2010
Adiabatic calorimetry is becoming increasingly important in many areas of modern materials research and safety engineering. As a compact tabletop unit, the newly developed MMC 274 Nexus from Netzsch closes the gap between large adiabatic reaction calorimeters and small differential scanning calorimeters. This instrument allows for the analysis of relatively large sample volumes consisting of several millilitres. During the measurements, additional substances can be injected and/or mixing of heterogeneous substances can be secured. Changes in pressure resulting from the reaction are also recorded. Furthermore, in addition to purely adiabatic or purely isothermal measurements, the investigations can be carried out in Scanning mode. Properties such as heat capacities can thus be quickly and precisely analysed. Also, exothermic
and endothermic effects can be quantitatively characterised with the MMC 274 Nexus. This offers the user nearly unlimited application possibilities.
The MMC 274 Nexus consists of a base unit with integrated electronics, a software package, and various easy-to-exchange measurement modules. These exchangeable modules make it quick and easy to optimally adjust the system to the measurement requirements. This allows for: characterisation of materials with regard to phase transitions; quick and easy analysis of the stability of chemicals; caloric analysis of complex systems and components such as batteries; and determination of the physical parameters of materials. The MMC 274 Nexus can be operated in a great variety of modes or in the Heat-Wait-Search mode. Furthermore, it is faster and easier to operate than conventional adiabatic reaction calorimeters while providing considerably higher sensitivity in many areas. Its flexibility and the manifold measurement possibilities allow the MMC 274 Nexus to be used in countless application fields: materials characterisation in research and development; process development in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry; investigation of the storage and transport behavior of chemicals; and analysis of batteries and battery components.
