HM280 Experiments With ARadial FanTeaching Education Equipment For School Lab Heat Transfer Demo Equipment
Description
Radial fans are used to transport gases with non-excessive pressure differences. The medium is drawn in axially to the drive shaft of the radial fan and is deflected by 90° by the rotation of the rotor and discharged radially.
The experimental unit provides the basic experiments to get to know the operating behaviour and the most important characteristic variables of radial fans.
HM 280 features a radial fan with variable speed via a frequency converter, an intake pipe and a delivery pipe. The transparent intake pipe is fitted with guide plates for flow guidance and with a flow straightener to calm the air. This enables precise measurements even with heavily reduced operation. The air flow is adjusted by a throttle valve at the end of the delivery pipe.
To demonstrate the effect of different blade shapes two rotors are included in the scope of delivery: one rotor with forward curved blades and one with backward curved blades. The rotors are easily interchangeable.
The experimental unit is fitted with sensors for pressure and temperature. The flow rate is determinated via differential pressure measurement on the intake nozzle. The microprocessor-based measuring technique is well protected in the housing. The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB where they can be analysed using the software included.
All the advantages of software-supported experiments with operation and evaluation are offered by thsoftware and the microprocessor.
