ENTRAPPING-TYPE THERMAL INTERACTION TESTER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make uniformly settable the mode of contact through which a low-temperature liquid is entrapped into a high-temperature liquid, to make accurately settable the then temperatures and amounts of the two liquids, and to make accurately measurable a pressure and temperature change developed at the time of contact. SOLUTION: This entrapping-type thermal interaction tester is equipped with an outer container 10 heatable by a heater and stored with the high-temperature liquid 16, a projection 18 provided on a bottom part of the outer container 10, an inner container 12 coolable by a cooler and made of metal foil 22 having a breakable bottom part, a glass container 26 storable in the inner container, capable of coming out of the inner container by breaking the metal foil of the bottom part, and stored with the low-temperature liquid 24, a drive mechanism 46 for the glass container, and temperature/pressure measurement means disposed in various places. In this interaction tester, the glass container is descended by the drive mechanism and broken by colliding against the projection, thereby discharging the low-temperature liquid into the high-temperature liquid.
