The Setaram Calvet LV 4C is an advanced isothermal calorimeter designed for high-accuracy thermal measurements of large samples. It features a unique 3D sensor composed of a network of thermocouples that completely surround the measurement cells, ensuring comprehensive heat detection with up to 95% efficiency. This design allows for precise measurements of heat, heat flow, and heat capacity.
Operating exclusively in isothermal mode, the Calvet LV 4C maintains stable temperature control from ambient to 200 °C. It accommodates up to four large-volume cells simultaneously, each with a capacity of up to 100 mL or the equivalent of two D-type batteries. This capability enables the concurrent analysis of multiple samples, enhancing throughput and efficiency. The instrument offers versatile, interchangeable crucibles and cells, facilitating a wide range of experimental conditions, including high-pressure (up to 350 bar) and high-vacuum environments. It supports various applications such as mixing/stirring experiments and battery charge/discharge cycles. The Calvet LV 4C is particularly well-suited for the thermal characterization of batteries, measuring self-discharge thermal power and heat released during charge/discharge cycles- critical indicators of battery performance, capacity, and durability. Additionally, it is applicable in analyzing the thermal properties of building materials and studying metabolic processes in small animals, providing valuable data on their interactions with the environment. n summary, the Setaram Calvet LV 4C calorimeter offers exceptional accuracy and versatility for isothermal calorimetric analysis of large samples across various scientific and industrial applications.
