| Abstract |
An oxygen bomb calorimeter which can accommodate a 25 gram sample of refuse or a refuse-derived-fuel (RDF) has been designed and constructed at the National Bureau of Standards for the purpose of studying the effects of sample processing on the measured calorific value of such material. This large calorimeter is an enlarged and modified version of a conventional-size calorimeter also in use at NBS. The large calorimeter can handle samples ten times larger than the conventional-size calorimeter and therefore can be used to investigate RDF samples with either minimal or no processing. Calorimetric results are presented for calorific value measurements carried out on d(densified)-RDF in both calorimetric systems. The result of this investigation indicate that the calorific value of d-RDF is unaffected by the sample processing technique used at NBS. |
