THERMAL ANALYZER

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermal analyzer which can shorten time until starting analysis of a new sample with a simply structure, in the thermal analyzer which does not perform measurement in a cooling zone of a room temperature or below, and has no need to cool down a heating furnace to the room temperature or lower. SOLUTION: The thermal analyzer 30 includes the heating furnace 34 housing a measurement object, a heating means 56 for heating inside the heating furnace 34, and further includes a purge gas introduction pipe 39 introducing a purge gas into the heating furnace 34, and a cooling device 70 for cooling down inside the heating furnace 34 to an analysis start temperature. The cooling device 70 cools down inside the heating furnace 34 by cooling down the purge gas to be introduced into the heating furnace 34. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
