About BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter

Standard Features of Bomb calorimeter BCI-2000

All the processes in the experiment are automatic after the charged Combustion Bomb is kept inside the instrument. There is no need to manually Measure Water, Adjust water Temperature etc, thereby reducing operator workload and the errors associated with the same.
Removable Bucket design is also available as an option.
The Combustion Bomb is thick walled, halogen, corrosion and acids resistant.
The instrument can be configured with either built in LCD Display / Touch Screen (Optional), Computer or both. This provides the user with the display of their choice of other displays and interfacing ports are also available.
Correction for Acid, or Nitrogen, Fuse-wire, Sulphur, Moisture, Spiking, Ash and Hydrogen etc are available in the software.
Multiple Operating Modes gives additional choice to user to choose the program and method (Isothermal, High Precision Mode Predictive Mode, Regnault-Pfaundler) best suited to his application
A high accuracy automatic water Measuring and Dosing System is used to measure the quantity of water in the Calorimeter Vessel. It has a repeatability of 0.5g ensuring the water dosing is accurate and reliable.
A high-efficiency stirrer ensures that the water in the inner calorimeter vessel is maintained uniformly throughout the experiment.
The instruments features a Solid State water refrigeration system. The system automatically determines the cooling requirement and adjusts the circulation system accordingly. The required water temperature is thereby maintained for repeated experiments.
Specially designed Auto-stop and Auto-drain valves ensure leakage proof Jacketed System.
Window based easy to use software which can further be linked to Digital Weighing Scale for auto weight transfer

Precision Calorific Measurement

Equipped with a double-walled stainless steel vessel and a precisely calibrated thermometer, the BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter achieves accurate calorific value measurements for both solid and liquid fuels. Each unit comes with a calibration certificate, ensuring installation of a pre-verified and reliable instrument that conforms to pertinent IS and ASTM standards for laboratory testing.

Advanced Safety and Durability

Engineered with robust stainless steel construction, the calorimeter features a safety pressure release valve and high-strength components, offering enhanced protection during high-pressure oxygen combustion. The double-walled insulation not only optimizes thermal retention but also provides an extra layer of operational safety, making it suitable for repetitive laboratory use.

Effortless Manual Operation

This calorimeter is specifically crafted for straightforward bench-top usage, with manual analog controls and no electronic interface required. The included magnetic or electric stirrer ensures uniform heat distribution in the water bucket, while the entire testing process can be completed in just 25 minutes, streamlining laboratory workflows and maximizing efficiency.

FAQs of BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter:

Q: How does the BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter determine the calorific value of a sample?

A: The BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter quantifies calorific value by combusting a weighed sample in a sealed stainless steel bomb filled with high-pressure oxygen. The resultant heat raises the temperature of a known water mass in the surrounding bucket, which is precisely recorded using the analog thermometer. Calculations are based on the observed temperature rise, the heat capacity of the system, and the calibrated water equivalent, allowing accurate determination of energy content.

Q: What safety features are incorporated in the BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter?

A: For operator protection and instrument durability, the calorimeter includes a robust stainless steel bomb, a pressure safety release valve to guard against unintended overpressure, and a double-walled insulated vessel to contain potential hazards. Each unit is built for reliable high-pressure performance and conforms with recognized safety standards.

Q: When should calibration or maintenance be performed on the device?

A: Calibration is critical for accuracy; the BCI-2000 is supplied pre-calibrated with authentic certificates. For optimal performance, recalibration is recommended annually or after any significant mechanical impact. Routine cleaning and inspection after each use will extend equipment longevity and maintain result integrity.

Q: Where can this calorimeter be used effectively?

A: Designed for laboratory fuel analysis, the BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter is best suited for research institutions, academic labs, industrial quality control, and field service verification where reliable measurement of fuel calorific values is essential.

Q: What is the typical process for operating the BCI-2000 Bomb Calorimeter?

A: A small fuel specimen (12 g) is placed inside the stainless steel bomb and sealed. Oxygen is filled up to 25-30 atm. The bomb is immersed in 2000 ml water in the bucket, with stirring initiated. Manual ignition triggers fuel combustion, and the temperature rise is recorded via the analog thermometer. Results are calculated manually or per supplied standards.

Q: How can users benefit from the features of this calorimeter?

A: Users gain from accurate, consistent calorific value determinations due to precise calibration, high-resolution temperature measurement, and safety mechanisms that ensure risk-free operation. Its manual design and durable structure suit frequent, demanding laboratory environments, providing dependable results over long-term use.
