A thermogravimetric analyzer and a flow‐calorimeter are combined in order to determine as a function of time the heating power and the oxygen requirement for the complete combustion of the volatiles from solid fuels. The evolved volatiles are burnt in the flow‐calorimeter with excess air. The temperature rise of the exhaust gas corresponds to the heating power of the volatiles, and the oxygen concentration in the exhaust gas results in the oxygen requirement for complete combustion of the volatiles.
