The bench is installed on an aluminium profile structure equipped with four non-slip feet and includes:
1. A glass test cylinder with 304L stainless steel flanges with a volume of 2.8L including :
- a 300W heating element with integrated internal probe
- a water-cooled copper coil exchanger
- a vapor temperature probe (Pt100)
- a liquid temperature probe (Pt100)
- a cylinder pressure sensor (0-6 bar)
- R1233zd fluid
- a safety valve set at 4 bar
- a 3.8 bar safety pressure switch
2. A cooling water circuit including:
- a needle water flow control valve
- a 0.05 to 1.8L/min flow meter
- a temperature sensor at the inlet of the exchanger (Pt100)
- a temperature sensor at the outlet of the exchanger (Pt100)
3. A 7-inch color touch screen for displaying measurements on a diagram of the installation:
- 4 Pt100 temperature probes (water and fluid)
- 1 temperature sensor heating resistor (Tc type K)
- 1 cylinder pressure
- 1 cooling water flow
- 1 electrical power of the heating element
4. An electrical control area including:
- a general power supply switch
- a white voltage presence light
- a button to power the machine
- a potentiometer to adjust the heating power of the resistor.
5. Data acquisition software (see details on the next page)
