This system utilizes magnetic suspension to measure and control sample temperatures ranging from up to 500°C to below room temperature. It includes a PID controller, thermocouples, pressure transducers, gas inlet, sorption equipment, and a vacuum pump for precise measurements and analysis in various applications, including determining sorption isotherms and kinetics. Example applications include thermogravimetric analysis of polymers and studying water loss during the heating of materials like Hyflon-Ion. The system operates by modulating voltage on an electromagnet to hold the suspension magnet in a vertical position, ensuring accurate temperature control and measurements.
