Refrigeration Training System with Data Acquisition (3431)

The Refrigeration Training System features a powerful 22-bit resolution data acquisition system using Windows software. These tools enable students to easily monitor in real-time the system operating condition.

Temperature, pressure, current, and voltage readings throughout the system are readily available on the computer screen. Using the data collected, supplemental information is calculated and displayed to provide key information simplifying system troubleshooting and performance analysis.

Connection to the computer is done through a Universal Serial Bus (USB). With this type of connection, only one cable is required to link the data acquisition system to the PC.

Using manual valves, three expansion devices including a thermostatic expansion valve and two capillary tubes can be selected for demonstrations. The first capillary tube has been calculated to demonstrate the operation of the system under normal conditions while the other simulates the effect of a partially obstructed capillary.

Automatic temperature control can be achieved using the Electronic Pressure Controller or the remote bulb temperature controller.

Electrical and refrigeration faults can also be inserted in the system allowing the student to practice their troubleshooting skills.
