TAC 500 AS

TAC-500 AS belongs to the category of Accelerating Rate Calorimeters. They are dedicated to study reactions under adiabatic (no heat loss) conditions. TAC-500 AS searches carefully for the decomposition of a sample while increasing its temperature stepwise. It is equipped with pressure resistant cells and pressure sensors.

Adiabatic conditions are quite realistic for large plant vessels that lose heat slowly. As such TAC-500 AS applications are related to process safety. It answers questions such as: what temperature can be reached if control of a reactor is lost ? How quickly can this temperature be reached? Are there extra risks linked with pressure increase?
