HEL Ltd - Phi-TEC I
Manufactured by HEL Ltd
Adiabatic Reaction Calorimeter
The PHI-TEC I 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.
Background Information:
'Accelerating Rate Calorimeter' (ARC*) was the first commercial adiabatic device, developed by Dow Chemicals. Dow's device has been out of production for many years now, but the name ARC* has been coined in the industry. The principles of the original ARC* have been duplicated and technically exceeded by HEL for over 15 years.
