Computer Controlled Thermodynamic Cycle Of A Piston Compressor

The is designed to connect to the to expand the experimental capability.
The has been designed and manufactured to incorporate all current safety standards.
A Computer Controlled Thermodynamic Cycle of a Piston Compressor training plant for studying the energy transfer in a compressed air system.
It includes industrial sensors and transducers.
The is controlled by a PC and software.

Experiments:
Analysing the pressure / volume diagram of the first and second stages of the compressor by experiment
Calculating the effective average pressure of the first and second stages of the compressor.
Determining the polytropic index.

Checking the operation of the safety devices:
For detailed study of the air characteristics it is necessary to connect the to the Compressed Air Dehumidification Training Plant
Using a T-s diagram for air to determine the characteristics of the thermal cycles by experiment.

Frequency converter for continuous variation of motor r.p.m.
