Description

The RCT 200 bench enables the study of temperature control. A pump ensures the water supply in the test circuit. A digital PID controller receives the temperature information and should adjust the power of resistance to achieve the set point.

It is also possible to create several event of disturbance for the temperature control (using a study module of the water-air exchanger for dissipating of the heat and a coil circuit allowing to create a delay and acting on the parameter I)

The unit comes complete with instrumentation, technical and pedagogical documentation in French as well as all the accessories required for proper operation (Included supervision software)

The robust design of this equipment makes it perfectly suited for use in schools.

Its anodized aluminum profile structure on multidirectional wheels with brakes makes it extremely robust as well as great flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacturing of this equipment meets the European machine directive

The bench has the following characteristics:

-          A water circuit expansion vessel of 8 L, pump, heating device and two controlled systems with different lengths of delay

-          A three-stage pump: power of 25 to 60W

-          A screwed heating resistance (2000 W) with protection against the dry running and temperature limiter

-          A heat exchanger air water with fan

-          Three temperature measurements with Pt100 probe with length 150 mm Ø = 6 mm in several places

-          A generation of disturbance variables by ball valve with calibrated scale in water circuit

-          A power regulator

-          A digital controller of PID type with configurable microprocessor with regulator On/Off or continuous (P, PI or PID)

-          4-20 mA analog output

-          Mounting of the elements on a robust chassis in aluminum profile on multidirectional wheels with brakes

-          Processes variables X and Y are accessible as analog signals via dual sink sockets
