Abstract

A review of instruments for thermochemical (thermometric) solution analysis is given, including new types of isoperibol reaction of bomb calorimeters, the design of which can influence the future development of thermochemical measuring techniques.The new type of Dithermanal (Vaskut-EMG, Hungary, and Herrmann- Morris, France) controls the individual steps of the thermochemical analysis, adding memory and computing capabilities. Similar programming units with microprocessors for bomb and/or reaction calorimetry have been developed by Parr Comp. and Leco Comp. (USA). The latest modification of the Technicon flow analyzer permits on-line analysis of solid samples. For thermochemical titrations, the Sanda titrator (USA) and Vaskut automatic titrator (Hungary) are available. In the USA, the Tronac isothermal or isoperibol calorimeters are widely used. At the Technical University of Brno, ČSSR, smaller table instruments with a water-bath are applied for different modes of solution thermochemical analysis, and also for the reactions of solid samples in liquids. For the measurement of very small temperature differences, PTC thermistors are used.The possibilities of the future development of measuring techniques are outlined.
