Technical Description
The ET 413C system demonstrates the operation of a compression refrigeration unit. A closed, insulated chamber is cooled using a refrigeration circuit comprising a compressor, condenser, evaporator and capillary tube. A special feature is the ability to enlarge the heat exchange area of the condenser by switching in a 2nd stage. It is possible to use the unit to simulate faults.
The intake and delivery pressure of the compressor are indicated on pressure gauges with an additional temperature scale for the refrigerant and recorded using pressure transducers. Temperature sensors measure the relevant temperatures. Their values are indicated on a digital display with selector switch. A further switchable display indicates the voltage, current and power consumption of the compressor. At the same time, the measured data can be displayed and processed on a PC. A data acquisition card with appropriate software is included.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
