Water Temperature

System

The temperature training system uses water as the process fluid to study the fundamentals of process control using primary and secondary temperature cycles as controllable process variables.

Functions

The temperature training system uses water as the process fluid to investigate the fundamentals of process control using primary and secondary temperature circuits as controllable process variables. Both circuits pass through the heat exchanger and the secondary circuit contains an air-flow heat sink. The temperature sensors are located at the inlet and outlet of the heat exchanger and at the outlet of the radiator.

Method

The equipment utilises industrial components for practice-oriented and industry-related training. Experimental procedures are carried out using an electronic manual in ESPIAL.

Target groups

Vocational training in electrical engineering in trade and industry and students specialising in automation technology and mechatronics. The course offers both introductory courses at a basic level as well as challenging topics for bachelor's programmes.

Topics

• Temperature control and calibration
• Customise and calibrate the interface
