The load bankincludes three separate banks of resistive, inductive and capacitive loads.They give a choice and combination of types of loads to give unity and leadingor lagging power factor. A voltage-selector switch allows the load bank to work with different line voltages for single and three-phase circuits. The Power Factor Load Bank is a free-standing and mobileunit. Theload bank provides three separate inputs: Lines 1, 2 and 3. This allows it towork with single and three-phase circuits. Each line is independent, whichallows it to connect with the others as a star or delta load. It gives predictable load and power factor characteristics, useful formany different power systems experiments. It also helps to show the principlesof a static VAr compensator used in industrial plants and large factories. The load bank has smallwheels, for easy mobility. This saves time setting up experiments and clearingthe classroom or laboratory after use. Each bank maybe set to different values, to give an unbalanced load for balanced andunbalanced load tests. The top of the load bank includes a useful worktop forany additional instruments or for recording results.

This trainer includes a clear horizontal primary separator vessel. The process has manual control valves with rotameters and is intended to demonstrate oilfield separation principles with basic visual manual operation. The three phase separator demonstration apparatus is a small scale vessel that performs continuous separation of a mixture of oil, air and water. The primary separation operation for crude oil occurs when the crude stream flows through a vessel of sufficient capacity to allow gravity separation of the gas, liquid hydrocarbon and water phases. It is available in horizontal and vertical orientations.
Function:
This fluid mixture then flows into a separator vessel fabricated of clear materials. The oil and water are recycled the air is vented to atmosphere. This process trainer blends air, water and refined oil to emulate a crude oil stream.

The propeller dynamometers are new designs to replace earlier dynamometers only adjustments to the inclination of the propeller shaft could be made, but with the introduction of the adjustment of propeller shaft height can also be achieved. Depending on the maximum capacity of the drive motors, the maximum torque ratings, and consequently the diameters of the propeller shaft ends, are different. The capacity of the drive motors of the same whereas that of less. Apart from the different arrangement possibilities,the technical details of all essential parts of propeller dynamometers are identical, with exception of the capacity of the drive motors and the maximum load ratings in respect of measurement of torque and thrust.
