Wet Dry Thermometer

This charging unit is fitted with motorised vacuum pump and other safety devices like pressure gauge. With the help of this charging unit students can charge the refrigerant gases into compressor or store the gas of a refrigerator or air conditioner inside the cylinder fitted inside the charging unit that can be used later.

This model will be made out of original parts. The model will be suitably sectioned to demonstrate the internal construction details showing the minute information, and working of the same, the model will be suitably painted and mounted on a metal or wooden base & supplied with key card & very interesting literature regarding working of the same.

Window air conditioner is becoming now a day’s necessity. The unit demonstrates the application of window air conditioner & evaluation of its performance. It consists of a small room to which a small air conditioner is connected the room is provided with a transparent front cover with a heater inside to simulate heat load in the room. Various measurements are provided so that performance of system that is COP of system, actual & theoretical cooling capacity of system & power consumption of unit with different load conditions.
