EQUIREMENTS
The 6300 Calorimeter System requires availability of
Oxygen, 99.5% purity, with appropriate connection,
2500 psig, maximum.
This apparatus is to be used indoors. It requires at least
4 square feet of workspace on a sturdy bench or table
in a well-ventilated area with convenient access to an
electric outlet, running water and a drain. The supply
voltage must be within ± 10% of marked nominal
voltage on the apparatus. The supply voltage receptacle
must have an earth ground connection.
Approximately 4 liters of tap water, with a total
hardness of 85 ppm or less, are required for filling the
calorimeter jacket reservoir. This water is provided via
the tap water connection at the rear of the calorimeter.
The inlet pressure should be in the range of 20 to 60
psig. The required flow rate is on the order of 0.5 liters/
minute. This connection also supplies cooling water
for the calorimeter. As a result, the temperature of the
water should not exceed 25 °C. The speed at which
the calorimeter will recycle between tests is a function
of the temperature of the incoming tap water. (The
performance will slow noticeably above 20 °C and will
become sluggish above 25 °C). Water consumption
is dependent on the incoming water temperature and
shouldn’t normally exceed 1.5 liters per test.
An open water drain connection is required.

NSTALLING THE
C
ALORIMETER
Each Parr 6300 Calorimeter was completely assembled
and thoroughly tested prior to shipment. The following
stepwise procedure will guide the user through the
installation process.
Unpack the calorimeter and carefully check the •
individual parts against the packing list. If shipping
damage is discovered, save the packing cartons
and report it immediately to the delivering carrier.
The calorimeter needs to be located near a water
drain. A cold-water tap water supply, oxygen
and an electrical outlet are also required. Set the
calorimeter on a sturdy, level, bench or table, free
from drafts, vibration and sources of radiant heat.
Make the calorimeter drain connection using the •
provided 7/8” Tygon tubing (assembly A1336DD).
The calorimeter must be located so that the drain
tubing is always lower than the drain port at the rear
of the calorimeter. Failure to meet this requirement
will cause water to back up inside the calorimeter.
Make the tap water connection at the rear •
of the calorimeter using 1/4” Nylon tubing
(HJ0025TB035). The inlet pressure should not
exceed 60 psig. Refer to figure 2-1 and 2-2. The inlet
connection incorporates a water filter, 1245DD,
just behind the inlet connection. When making
the water connection, a back-up wrench should
be placed on the water filter to insure a secure
connection and to prevent over tightening the filter.
NOTE:
During extended periods of inactivity (over-
night or longer), shut off the tap water supply
to the calorimeter.
Make the connection to the rinse water source using •
3/8” Tygon tubing (JT0038TB062A). A barbed
fitting is provided at the rear of the calorimeter
for this connection. A 10 liter carboy (231C2) is
provided as a distilled water rinse reservoir. Place a
149C in-line water filter at the end of the water line
that is inserted into the carboy.
