(a) * A flow-type calorimeter uses flowing water through a jacket that surrounds the cell, or through a coil inside the cell. The flow rate and the temperature change of the water stream are measured. Although this is an absolute method, it must be calibrated because the water can not capture all of the heat.

*The isoperibolic calorimeter determines power production by measuring the temperature drop across the cell wall. The device must be calibrated and is accurate only when the measured temperature represents the average ĘT.

*The double-wall (DW) isoperibolic calorimeter uses an additional thermal barrier outside of the cell across which the temperature drop is measured. The device must be calibrated, but is independent of any temperature variation within the cell.

*The Seebeck calorimeter determines power production by measuring a voltage generated by the temperature difference between the inside and outside of its walls. In this device, all walls are sensitive to this temperature difference, hence any energy that escapes the enclosure will generate a voltage proportional to the amount of power being lost. The device must be calibrated and is independent of the cell temperature. However, the sensitivity of all the walls must be the same to achieve accurate results.

* Double cell comparison uses two nearly identical cells, one of which is active and the other is assumed to make no AP. Heat production is based on the temperature difference between the two cells and accuracy depends on the two cells remaining identical in their properties.

*An open cell allows the generated gases to escape. A closed cell causes the gases to be converted back to water.

(b) Although only one value is given, frequently several different samples of palladium were reported to produce anomalous power (AP). The amount of anomalous energy (AE) is highly variable, depending on how long the active sample was studied.

(c) Calibration could have been unstable.

(d) Calibrated with internal heater and checked with Pt cathode and/or H2O based electrolyte

(e) Calibrated only with internal heater

(f) Mechanical stirring used

(g) Calibrated using only an inert cathode.
