What Is the Computerized Bench Top Cold Storage Trainer Used For?
In a cold store, moisture from the stored goods and from air entering the room freezes on the evaporator, and the frost layer cuts heat transfer until it is removed. Students run the chamber with one or both evaporators, impose dry and humid loads with the two heat sources, and watch frost and ice build up under different conditions. They then compare electric and hot gas defrosting, started either by the defrost controller or at intervals by the timer, while the software records the defrost process over time and plots the chamber climate on the h-x diagram, showing how latent and sensible cooling loads differ.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of cold storage trainers required.
- Mains supply — state 50 Hz or 60 Hz; both versions are 230 V, 1 phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the cold storage trainer investigate?
It shows how evaporator size and temperature affect the climate and icing in the refrigeration chamber, how frost forms under different conditions, and how latent and sensible cooling loads differ.
Which defrosting methods are fitted?
An electric defrost heater and hot gas defrosting are both available, and defrosting can be started as required by a defrost controller or at set intervals by a defrost timer.
How is humidity introduced into the chamber?
One of the two adjustable heat sources generates water steam, simulating the humidity brought into a cold store, while the other heat source provides a dry load.
What is the compressor rating?
The compressor gives a refrigeration capacity of 999 W at -5/55 °C with a power consumption of 565 W, and the receiver holds 1,3 L.
What can the data acquisition software show?
It records the defrosting process over time and represents the chamber climate online in the h-x diagram, with values passed to a PC by USB.
What are the cooling load ranges?
Latent cooling load covers 2 × 0 to 250 W, and sensible cooling load covers 1 × 0 to 200 W plus 1 × 0 to 250 W.
