The losses of the most important fittings can be determined using seven differential pressure sensors. Control response and energy flux can be plotted using four temperature sensors, a flow rate sensor and an effective power sensor. The trainer contains a complete closed heating circuit with circulating pump, electrical heater, and convector for dissipating heat, various pipe sections, fittings and safety devices. The characteristics of a conventional circulating pump and a differential pressure controlled circulating pump can be compared.
