Zusammenfassung:	A thermal phase separation simulator and method for testing chemicals is disclosed. The simulator comprises a circular block heater carousel (lO)mounted for rotation on a stage (20). The carousel includes a circular array of test wells (12) for receiving a plurality of test bottles (60), a plurality of heating elements (14) and thermocouples (15) disposed between the wells. Each well has an illumination port (40) and a vertical slit (24) to the outside to allow visual observation or imaging of a vertical swatch of the bottle. An illumination source (41) aligns with the illumination port of each well in response to rotation of the carousel. The method includes adding a mixed phase fluid to a plurality of bottles, adding a chemical agent to each bottle, and simulating a thermal phase separation. Images of the fluid in each bottle are captured and analyzed to determine the performance of the one or more chemical agents. Se describe un simulador de reparación de fase térmica y método de prueba para productos químicos. El simulador comprende un carrusel con calentador de bloque circular del (10) montado para girar en una plataforma (20). El carrusel incluye una configuración circular de los pocillos de prueba (12) para recibir una pluralidad de botellas de prueba (60), una pluralidad de elementos de calentamiento (14) y termopares (15) dispuestos entre los pocillos. Cada pocillo tiene un puerto de iluminación (40) y una ranura vertical (24) hacia el exterior para permitir la observación visual o formación de imágenes de una muestra vertical de la botella. Una fuente de iluminación (41) se alinea con el puerto de iluminación de cada pocillo en respuesta a la rotación del carrusel. El método incluye la adición de un fluido de fase mixta a una pluralidad de botellas, la adición de un agente químico para cada botella, y la simulación de una separación de fase térmica. Imágenes del líquido de cada botella se capturan y se analizan para determinar el desempeño de los un o más agentes químicos.
