ET 405 Reverse Cycle Refrigeration Training System Show data sheet (pdf file)
Technical Description
The ET 405 contains a hermetic compressor, 4 heat exchangers, 3 expansion valves and 4 different interchangeable capillaries. The unit can be operated in different modes. 11 manually operated valves allow corresponding changes to be made to the refrigeration circuit. The relevant measured values are displayed directly on indicator instruments. Therefore, sequences and consequences of switching operations within a cooling unit can be directly investigated. Sight glasses in the refrigerant circuit allow direct observation of the refrigerant status. A coaxial tube bundle heat exchanger can be operated as a counterflow condenser or as a parallel flow evaporator. This heat exchanger is used to heat or cool a glycol/water mixture circuit. Refrigerating loads are created by different fan speeds on the finned tube evaporators.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
- Layout, function and main components of a heat
  pump 
- Measurement of relevant pressures, temperatures,
  flow rates, current and voltage
- Illustration of the thermodynamic cyclic process in a
  p-h state diagram
- Comparison of different operating modes
- Comparison of different expansion elements
  (expansion valve, 4 capillaries)
- Determination of: efficiency, coefficient of
  performance, specific compressor work,
  compressor pressure ratio, specific cooling capacity
  and specific refrigerating capacity
- Heat balance
