A novel adiabatic reaction calorimeter useful for measuring the energy change in a chemical reaction is disclosed. In a specific application, the calorimeter is used to measure the heat energy derived in a chemical reaction. The device includes a reaction vessel which is thermally isolated in the geometric center of a sealed spherical chamber. The chamber, which is filled with a gas atmosphere, is defined within a box structure fabricated of a ceramic foam or plastic foam. An auxiliary vessel is positioned in the chamber adjacent to the reaction vessel and is connected to the reaction vessel by a transfer conduit. |
