Abstract
A calorimeter vessel includes a base for supporting a bomb thereon and a downwardly concavely opening container sealably engaging the base. The base includes a water supply system permitting a common water supply to supply water to three such vessels which include water level detecting sensors also permitting automatic filling of the vessels. In the preferred embodiment the vessel is filled in two stages providing rapid yet precise filling of each of the vessels. In one embodiment of the invention a microprocessor control circuit is employed for sampling temperature data within each of the vessels during an analysis to ascertain beginning and ending temperatures and for calculating the resultant heat of combustion of a sample. The microprocessor also is employed to automatically control the filling and emptying of the vessel and the firing of the sample containing calorimeter bomb.
