This system is Ideal for students to gain insight into the first of thermodynamics. It introduces students to industry-standard methods of analyzing steam plant performance, including Rankine Cycle Analysis.
This System Contains a Rankine cycle steam turbine, throttle valve, impulse turbine, sub- atmospheric water-cooled condenser and boiler feed pump. Instrumentation to record all relevant temperatures, pressures, cooling water and gas flows, turbine speed.
Safety to include high pressure cut out switches and relief valves on boiler and condenser, steam solenoid valve and electrical overload cut outs and earth leakage circuit breaker.
This system is Self-contained in a mobile frame that includes all instruments needed for experiments. This Allows students to copy the Marcet Boiler Experiment to prove the pressure-temperature relationship for saturated steam.
Optional Software is available for Data Acquisition and Control Function.
