- Record of the pressure/volumetric flow rate characteristic
- Measurement of intake volume and pressure ratio
- Determination of volumetric and mechanical efficiency
- GUNT software for data acquisition

DESCRIPTION

Technical Description

Smaller refrigeration systems usually have a piston compressor. Piston compressors are positive displacement machines. These differ in their characteristics decisively from flow equipment which include the turbo compressors that are common in very large systems. 

In piston compressors the flow rate is mainly dependent on the displaced volume and speed. Due to the unavoidable dead space the flow rate drops with increasing pressure ratio. Because the flow rate is a measure for the refrigeration capacity of the refrigeration system, the properties of the compressor are important for the capacity of the whole system. 

In this trainer a commercial open refrigerant compressor is operated in an open process with air. The inlet and outlet pressures and thus the pressure ratio can be adjusted via valves in wide ranges. The drive via a frequency converter permits variable speeds. Pressures, temperatures, electric power consumption, speed and torque are recorded. The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB. The data acquisition software is included.

The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.
