Multiple Module Calorimeter MMC 274 Nexus® ARC, Scanning and Coin Cell Modules Analyzing & Testing
Open the catalog to page 1Multiple Module Calorimeter Synergy of Proven Methods Scientists and engineers generally recognize that more product and process information can be obtained by multiple analytical methods rather than using a single technique. Different signals can be recorded, and superimposed sample effects can often be much better explained. The technique has to be reliable, fast and easy to use in everyday operations. The NETZSCH Multiple Module Calorimeter MMC 274 Nexus® is an instrument which can be operated with different modules for the investigation of energetic materials and batteries (coin cells)....

Open the catalog to page 4After the exothermal reaction is finished, the system returns to the HWS operation until either the next exothermal effect is detected or the measurement has completed by means of having reached the maximum temperature (predefined in the software). 100 Self heating starts, change to adiabatic mode In cases where a thermally induced exothermal reaction starts and the self-induced temperature increase of the sample exceeds a predefined value (threshold), the system continues to track the temperature change of the sample.

Open the catalog to page 5The ARC Module – Simulation of the Worst Case Scenario The best way to understand worst case scenarios is to investigate runaway reactions under adiabatic conditions, which means no heat exchange occurs with the sample's environment. The ARC Module is able to minimize heat loss from the sample container by maintaining the temperature of the surroundings equal to that of the sample temperature. A defined volume of a sample (ml scale) is placed in a tubeshaped or spherical container which is surrounded by a sophisticated heating system. If there is no temperature difference between the...
Open the catalog to page 6ARC Module with VariPhi® – Determination of Reaction Enthalpies VariPhi® is an additional controlled variable DC heater which is in contact with the sample material (internal heater). It allows for the definition of thermal inertia for a real-world thermal environment by compensating for heat loss from the sample to the container. Since both the sample and the container are under adiabatic conditions, the heat generated by the sample causes not only an increase in its own temperature but also in that of the container. The sample container absorbs some of the energy from its own reaction...

Open the catalog to page 10Heat flow Voltage Current Besides sulfur and charcoal, KNO3 is used for the synthesis of gunpowder. It is also used in food preservation (E252) and as an important potassium- and nitrogen-containing fertilizer. This measurement was carried out in scanning mode with a constant power input of 200 mW. Two endothermal effects, at 129°C (peak area of -45 J/g) and at 334°C (-87 J/g), are related to phase transitions.
