A heat flow calorimeter suitable for measurements with electrochemical systems was developed that allows simultaneous monitoring of up to 24 electrochemical cells with an automatic data acquisition system based on a PC-XT-type computer; a 12-bit, 8-channel analog-to-digital board; and a 16-channel expansion board. The achieved accuracy of the system was 3%.
