AST513 Single-stage piston compressor equipment teaching Heat Transfer Didactic Equipment
- Description
The generation of compressed air for industrial and commercial purposes in areas where compressed air is used as a source of energy requires what are known as compressed air generation plants. A central part of these systems is the compressor. Of the air by means of mechanical energy. Compressed air generation plants are used to power machines in the mining industry, for pneumatic control systems in assembly facilities or as tyre inflation units at petrol stations.
The single-stage piston compressor in AST513 and the drive unit HM 365 together form a complete compressed air generation system.
The drive is HM 365 powers the compressor by means of a V-belt. The air is sucked into the intake vessel, where it settles before it is compressed inside the compressor. To sSTa steady flow operating mode, the compressed air can be discharged over a blow-off valve with a silencer. A pressure switch with a solenoid valve for limiting the pressure And a safety valve complete the system.
A measuring nozzle at the intake vessel is used to determine the suction volumetric flow rate. Sensors record the pressures and temperatures in front of and behind the compressor. The pressure is also displayed on the manometers in the tanks..
