ET 412C

Industrial Refrigeration Trainer / PC

Technical Description

The ET 412C Industrial Refrigeration Trainer with PC Data Acquisition is a fully functional model of a refrigeration system including 2 evaporators that represent a refrigeration stage and a deep-freezing stage. The unit comprises typical components from refrigeration engineering so lectures given using this model are relevant in practice. The system contains numerous electronic transducers that measures pressures, temperatures, flow rates and power. The measured values are directly indicated at the trainer and can be further processed with a PC data acquisition system. 18 different faults can be simulated via switches. Additionally, it is possible to simulate faults as blocked up pipes or pipes with reduced cross-section due to sludge via manual valves included in the trainer.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

stage)
- Components in refrigeration systems
- Familiarisation with cyclic processes
- Illustration of cyclic processes on a p-h state
diagram
- Calculation of cooling capacity and refrigeration
capacity of the cooling stages
- Faultfinding
