THERMORESISTOMETER FOR MEASURING THE RESISTANCE TO HEAT OF MICRO-ORGANISMS IN TEMPERATURE CONTROLLED CONDITIONS AND FOR SIMULATING ISOTHERMAL AND NON-ISOTHERMAL TREATMENT CONDITIONS

摘要

The new thermoresistometer is comprised of a refrigeration serpentine (6) and controls the temperature with a PID unit through a programmable automaton unit (11) and monitors by means a Scada system. In addition to carrying out thermal treatments at constant temperature, the new thermoresistometer can simulate complex heating and cooling ramps and complete thermal treatments, both discontinued and continued and record the evolution of the temperature reached.
