Title:
DEVICE FOR DETERMINING THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY AND METHODS FOR THE USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/064196
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
The application relates to a device based on the electrothermal method for determining thermal conductivity, which allows the examination of various phenomena, with a high level of reliability, through the study of the thermal behaviour of materials. The device is constituted by a sample-carrying cylinder surrounded by a resistance element that creates a radial heat flow in the sample, a cooling system based on a spiral-form heat exchanger incorporated into the thermal device, means for the storage of a fluid and a data-storage device. Furthermore, the present application describes the use of the device in processes for determining the productive potential of the soil ("PPS") and the examination of the nutritional quality of agro-ecological produce and foods.
