Once the calorimeter is started and the cover is closed, the fill sequence begins.

1. The calorimeter checks the combustion vessel ignition circuitry for continuity.
2. The water fill solenoid opens and water is pumped from the internal tank into and through the bucket
that surrounds the vessel. Overflow from the bucket is returned to the closed water tank. Because
the jacket and bucket are both filled with water from the closed water tank, initial equilibrium will be
reached quickly.
3. The oxygen fill solenoid is opened and oxygen is added slowly to the combustion vessel to bring its
pressure to approximately 3 MPa (435 psig or 30 bar).
