Reaction Calorimeters: RC1e, RC1su and OptiMax HFCal

Reaction Calorimeters - The Right Solution For Every Workflow

RC1 Workstations are the industry standard for process safety investigations. RC1 provides thermodynamic information based on either traditional heat flow or heat flux calorimetry. All RC1 reaction calorimeters are tailored to suit a wide range of temperatures, pressures and volumes.

OptiMax HFCal is a heat flow calorimeter based on the same principles used in the RC1 reaction calorimeter. OptiMax HFCal provides heat data determined under isothermal or non-isothermal conditions and is ideal to understand process parameters for safety studies.

OptiMax HFCal Process Characterization Workstation

• iControl software automatically runs procedures, computes the heat information and creates a final experiment report
• Non-scalable conditions and potential safety issues are uncovered quickly and Go/NoGo decisions can be taken early in development
• Accurate and reproducible results eliminates experiment repetition improving process characterization

RC1su Process Development Workstation

• RTCal technology enables heat profiles to be obtained online allowing control of process variables - including temperature, additions, and pH
• iControl RC1 software monitors the entire process, collects information and integrates seamlessly with online analytics applied in the process
• Wide range of accessories facilitates investigations at a wide range of temperatures and pressures

RC1su Scale-up Workstation

• iControl RC1 Software automates procedures to provide scale-up relevant information
• Heat transfer coefficients are determined both online and offline using real time measurement RTCal
• Determination of key properties such as mixing information, mass transfer information etc.

RC1e Process Safety Workstation

• Comprehensive workstation for process safety investigations and hazard assessmentPowerful RC1e thermostat generates unrivalled level of precision, accuracy and safety
• The optional iC Safety module converts RC1e reaction calorimetry data into valuable safety information, such as MTSR, safety runaway, or criticality graph

Keeping Reaction Calorimeters running at peak performance is the best way to optimize the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as it ensures maximum Uptime and Performance as well as maintaining Compliance with quality and industry standards.

METTLER TOLEDO Field Service Engineers possess the experience and Expertise for successful asset lifecycle management.

From onsite instrument Calibration and Preventive Maintenance (PM) to Full Service Coverage, the options available can be tailored to meet need and budget requirements ensuring complete cost control.

Extended Warranty

The most cost effective option for new instrument owners as it can be purchased at point of sale.  It protects the system beyond the initial factory warranty and provides additional value-added services, priority support and discounts.

Full Service Coverage

To keep the laboratory or production process running at maximum speed, instrument Uptime, Performance and Compliance are key. It is important to identify issues before they become problems and Full Service Coverage helps ensure instruments are available when needed by providing priority onsite and factory service with no cost surprises.

Calibration and Preventive Maintenance

The best option if budgetary constraints and Total Cost of Ownership are not a primary concern and instrument downtime does not affect productivity. Repair costs are on an ad-hoc basis but Calibration and Preventive Maintenance ensures equipment Performance and Compliance are within specification.
