CAT NO: DIDACTICNLE-Export-178006
Air Compressor Test Rig.
Air Compressor Test Rig
The test rig consists of a reciprocating air compressor driven by an
electric motor. The compressor is two stage compressor with intercooler.
Intake air flow rate is measured by using an air box with orifice plate
& differential manometer. Pressure gauges are provided to measure
pressure after 1st stage, 2nd stage & tank pressure. Temperature
sensors are used to measure the air temperature at Inlet, after 1st
Stage, Intercooler & 2nd stage. Compressor Speed & Power
Consumption are displayed on panel meters mounted at the front.
In order to study compressor performance at different speeds Variable Speed Motor with VFD can also be supplied on request.
Experimental Capabilities:
To investigate performance of Reciprocating Air Compressor.
To study effect of delivery pressure on Power Consumption & Compressor Efficiency.
To determine mechanical efficiency of reciprocating compressor.
To determine Free Air Delivery (FAD) for Air Compressor.
