Tzero technology

Fig. 1.45.1. Artist s view of a DSC cell in Tzero technology as used in modulated DSC (MDSC) processes. 1, Sample and reference table made from one piece of constantan 2, chromel thermocouples directly connected to the constantan tables 3, Tzero sensor from chromel-constantan in the middle between sample and reference table (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE, USA...

Q Series Modules The TA Instruments cell for the Q series DSC utilizes three thermocouples (see Fig. 2.2) and the associated Tzero technology... 

The operation of the Tzero (To) technology, as for the TA Instruments 910, 2910, and 2920 DSC modules, is also based on a thermal equivalent of Ohm s law. With the assumptions that the cell offers thermal resistance analogous to an electrical resistance and that the heat capacity of the platform pods needs to be accounted for, a heat balance equation can be constructed for each sensor pod ...
