Two Stage Air Compressor Test Rig
The test rig comprises of a two-stage air compressor fitted with an air tank with orifice, pressure gauges 9 an energy meter to measure the input & a Temperature indicator measures the temperatures at various points. The compressor is mounted on air receiver along with the motor, and is provided with air relief valve (safety) and a pressure switch. The unit determines volumetric efficiency and isothermal efficiency at various discharge pressures
SPECIFICATIONS:
1.Air compressor – Double cylinder, two-stage type driven by a 2-hp. Three – phase motor mounted on air receiver provided with delivery valve. 2.Air tank and orifice with water manometer for air intake measurement. 3.Pressure gauges at outlet on both stages. 4.Digital temperature indicator. 5.Energy meter to measure input power. 6.A technical manual accompanies the equipments.SERVICES REQUIRED:
1.Floor space of 2,5 X 1.5m. 2.440 V, 15A, 3ph. AC supply with neutral and earthing connection. 3.A hand tachometer.
Water Cooling Tower Apparatus
The apparatus consists of a forced draught, counter flow type-cooling tower. A blower supplies cooling air. Air enters the tower at the bottom. Hot water is, obtained from a geyser. Hot water is sprayed over the mesh packing through the nozzles and it flows downwards. Evaporative cooling of water occurs due to the current of air and water gets cooled. This student can study the operation of cooling tower and calculate the energy balance.
