Exhibit description
The calorimeter makes it possible to measure the most important gas value for its users – its calorific value. The apparatus consists of a burner which burns the gas to be measured and a thermometer which measures the temperature of the liquid flowing through a tube placed above the burner. Water or spirit can flow through the tube. The thermometer measures the temperature of the liquid flowing in and flowing out – before and after it is heated.
By comparing the readings, it is possible to assess how much the gas has raised the liquid’s temperature and establish the fuel’s calorific value.
