Description

The CRE302 bench allows the study of a three-stage compression plant. It is composed of a plant equipped with three semi-hermetic industrial compressors and three evaporation systems (negative cold room, refrigerated display case and evaporation in the atmosphere). The system includes all the standard components fitted to industrial plants (oil separator, dehydrator, constant pressure valve regulator, etc.). in addition to this, the bench is instrumented in order to expand its educational use.

Students will first need to understand the system and identify the components of the installation. They will then be able to commission and make the necessary adjustments (pressure switches, regulators, constant pressure valve, pressure reducing valve, etc.).

When the system is in operation, they can then check the parameters (pressure, temperature, flow, etc.). they will calculate the yield and draw the enthalpy diagram corresponding to each evaporation system.

Finally, they will be able to perform maintenance operations such as changing a filter, the procedure for changing a compressor on a power plant, changing an evaporator, installing a manifold.

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

Its anodized aluminum structure on feet gives it great robustness as well as great flexibility of integration into your premises. The manufacturing of this equipment meets the European machine directive
