AIR CONDITIONING CYCLE TEST RIG
RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS:
- To study all components used in Air Conditioning system.
- To study the Vapor compression Refrigeration cycle.
- To study the cooling, humidification,& dehumidification process.
- To determine the Refrigeration Effect, Work Input, Actual C.O.P., Carnot C.O.P., Theoretical C.O.P., Relative C.O.P., Ton of Refrigeration, and Plant Efficiency.
EXPERIMENTAL SETUP :
- Compressor : Hermetically sealed compressor.
- Condenser : Air Cooled condenser made
out of copper pipe & Aluminum fins of matching
capacity with fan cooling.
- Evaporator : Air calorimeter type evaporator. The air passed by a fan through duct.
The expanded refrigerant passes through evaporator
coils, fixed in the duct. The passing air comes in contact with the coils & gets cooled.
- Expansion device : Thermostatic expansion valve.
- Energy Meter : For power measurement of compressor.
- Pressure Gauge : 2 Nos. for H.P., L.P. measurement
- Hand Shut Off type Service valve.
- Electric Heater : Finned type heater for air heating.
- Rotameter for Refrigerant flow measurement.
- Duct : Air duct of size 250 x 250 make out of
CRC sheet in which evaporator is fitted.
- Baby Boiler : Electrically fired small baby boiler for
maintaining humidity of air with electrical heater
- Blower : 1 HP capacity centrifugal blower with air
control arrangement.
CONTROL PANEL :
- 12 Channel Digital Temperature Indicator
- HP-LP Cutout: Make Ranco /Danfoss or Equivalent.
- Switches: For compressor, condenser fan,
Dehumidifier Heater, blower & boiler heater.
- Voltmeter: 0 – 250 V.
- Ammeter: 0 – 15 A.
SPACE REQUIRED : 3.0 m. (L) x 1.0 m.(W).
WEIGHT : @ 160 Kg
SERVICE REQUIRED : 1. Power Supply: 440 V. A.C., 50 Hz.
