Computer Controlled Heat Transfer Teaching Equipment

A bench top service unit designed to interface to a range of heat transfer accessories.
Provides a drive signal for a proportioning solenoid valve used for flow control.
Provides a control signal to a variable speed blower used for generating airflow.
Provides a variable, stabilised 0-24V DC supply to the heater of the heat transfer accessory, with a current capability of 9A.
10 temperature inputs and conditioning circuits for K-type thermocouples:
9 off, 0-133°C, resolution <0.1°C
1 off, 0-500°C, resolution <0.15°C
A comprehensive instruction manual describing how to carry out the laboratory teaching exercises in non-steady state heat transfer and their analysis as well as assembly, installation and commissioning is included.
Outputs can be controlled manually from the front panel, or controlled by the software from a user supplied PC.
Instrumentation inputs for heater voltage, heater current, air flow, water flow, radiation and light meter.
Integral USB interface, and educational software for all accessories.

Features:
Improved accuracy for quantitative results which can be related directly to theory
Integral USB interface
Full educational software, with data logging, control, graph plotting, and detailed.
Small-scale, benchtop equipment
Common service unit avoids unnecessary cost duplication for control and instrumentation
Computer control of heaters, water flow, air flow, with safety functions implemented to allow for remote operation
Multiple accessories available covering a wide range of heat transfer investigations.
