Air to Water Heat Pump Operation Training Bench Unit

Product Description

Air-to-Water Heat Pump Operation Training Bench Unit An Air-to-Water Heat Pump Operation Training Bench for studying the use of heat pumps to transfer heat from one source at a certain temperature to another source at a higher temperature. The Air-to-Water Heat Pump Operation Training Bench Unit is designed to allow students to gain both practical and theoretical knowledge of the operation of heat pumps. The Air-to-Water Heat Pump Operation Training Bench Unit has been designed and manufactured to incorporate all current safety standards. The refrigerant used complies with anti-pollution legislation. Experiments Studying the operation of a heat pumpPlant start-up and system monitoring using the protection and safety devices incorporated into the training bench Analysing system behaviour and reactions with the variation of: Thermostatic valve superheatAir flow rate at the evaporatorWater temperature in the tank Plotting the refrigeration cycle on a p-h diagram Obtaining data readings and calculation of: Heat balances for the evaporator, condenser and compressorRefrigerant mass flowIdeal and actual coefficient of performance (C.O.P.)Volumetric compression efficiency Technical Specification Hermetic compressorForced-air variable-speed evaporatorCoil condenser immersed in a Plexiglas tankThermostatThermostatic expansion valveLiquid receiver and liquid separatorSight glasses, dehydrator filter, shut-off valveValve for plant vacuum, refrigerant charging and recovery Full set of instruments for obtaining data readings including: FlowmeterHigh and low pressure gauges2x electronic thermocouples with PT100 probes that can be inserted at several test points along the hydraulic circuitwattmeterDouble pressure switchResidual current thermomagnetic circuit-breakerStart buttonEmergency stop button
