SV Technocrats India’s Computerized Air Conditioning Test Rig & Fault Trainer is an advanced educational tool designed to provide hands-on experience with air conditioning systems, including diagnosing and troubleshooting faults. Here’s a concise overview:
Key Components
1. Compressor: Compresses the refrigerant, increasing its pressure and temperature.
2. Condenser: Releases heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense into a liquid.
3. Expansion Valve: Reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, cooling it significantly.
4. Evaporator: Absorbs heat from the air, causing the refrigerant to evaporate and cool the air.
5. Refrigerant Lines: Circulate the refrigerant between components.
6. Sensors and Transducers: Measure temperature, pressure, and flow rates at various points.
7. Control Panel: Interfaces with a computer for monitoring and control.
8. Fault Simulation System: Allows the introduction of specific faults for training purposes.
9. Data Acquisition System: Collects and logs data for analysis.
