Construction & System Design
The ProzessiX PX-05 Boys Gas Calorimeter is designed to provide reliable laboratory operation and accurate experimental measurements. The apparatus integrates a precision Hyde type wet gas meter with a Boys non-recording calorimeter assembly to ensure precise measurement of gas flow and combustion heat.
The wet gas meter includes a specially designed measuring drum enclosed in a gas-tight casing and sealed with water, allowing accurate measurement of the gas volume supplied to the burner. The calorimeter includes a corrosion-resistant tube heat exchanger designed to withstand continuous exposure to combustion gases and circulating water.
Thermometers supplied with the apparatus are equipped with adjustable chromium-plated reading lenses to improve measurement accuracy. Measuring cylinders and glass vessels allow collection of condensed products and measurement of water outflow during experiments. The system layout provides clear visibility of measuring instruments and easy access to operational components, ensuring safe and efficient laboratory use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What is a Boys Gas Calorimeter used for?
A Boys Gas Calorimeter is used to determine the calorific value of gaseous fuels by measuring the heat released during combustion and the temperature increase in a circulating water system.
Q2. Which fuels can be tested using the ProzessiX PX-05?
The apparatus can be used with gases such as methane, propane, butane, acetylene, ethylene, propylene, natural gas, town gas, and coke oven gas.
Q3. How does the wet gas meter measure gas volume?
The Hyde type wet gas meter contains a rotating measuring drum sealed with water. As gas passes through the meter, the drum rotates, enabling precise measurement of the volume of gas consumed.
Q4. What parameters are measured during the experiment?
The system measures water inlet temperature, water outlet temperature, effluent gas temperature, ambient temperature, and gas volume. These values are used to calculate calorific value and energy output.
Q5. Is data acquisition software available with the system?
Yes. Optional data acquisition software (IPE-3403SW) developed in the National Instruments LABVIEW environment can be used to measure, record, and calculate experimental results.
Q6. Is the apparatus suitable for engineering education?
Yes. The ProzessiX PX-05 is designed for chemical engineering, thermal engineering, and energy engineering laboratories to study combustion and fuel energy analysis.
