3.3 Measurement Procedures 
3.3.1 Operating Procedure for Starting Calorimeters 
Make sure the room furnace or air conditioner is working. 
Turn on environmental chamber (EC) #1 power switch on front outside panel and make sure the 
right knob is rotated to the correct temperature, around 70 °F. 
Turn on CO 2 and O 2 analyzers. Use the proper procedure. 
Turn on EC #2 power switch on front panel outside the chamber and flip the switch up on the 
box at left-hand side of front panel. Check thermostat inside the chamber so it is around 68 
°F. 
Turn on the duct fans for the calorimeter temperature control systems. 
Turn on the calorimeter temperature control panels inside EC #1. Adjust it to the correct 
temperature if this has not already been done. 
Turn on the calorimeter recirculating fans with the control inside EC #1. 
Turn on the sample pumps outside EC #1. 
Turn on the solenoid valve control system. 
To shut off calorimeters, reverse this order. 
3.3.2 Operating Procedure for Using the CO 2 Analyzer 
1. Turning on: 
Press in the top button on the left of the analyzer. 
Wait one minute. 
Press in the bottom button. 
Wait 30 minutes for the machine to warm up. 
2. Adjust the lower concentration standard gas using the zero dial to the concentration on 
the tank. The flow rate from the tank should read 2.5L/min on the gauge.
