Single Stage Air Compressor Test Rig

Product Code:In stock

*An ENGLISH instruction manual with elaborate experimental procedures and block diagram etc. shall be provided with the training system set-up.

Description:

Single Stage Air Compressor Test Rig consists of a single stage reciprocating type air compressor driven by a motor through a belt. The outlet of the air compressor is connected to reservoir (Tank) and suction is connected to another air tank with an orifice plate and a water manometer. Bellow is fitted on one side of this air tank to regulate the flow. Temperature of inlet and outlet of air and pressure at outlet can be measured by Temperature sensor and pressure gauge.

Scope of Study:

• To calculate the volumetric efficiency.
• To calculate isothermal efficiency.
• To calculate compression ratio.
