Ice Plant Test Rig.
Ice Plant Test Rig
The unit enables the students to study the Basic Principals of ice
plant cycle within a short period. The test rig is designed for the
study of thermodynamics of vapour Compression refrigeration cycle by way
of demonstration and experimentation. It has a facility to measure
various parameters for experimentation. Ice cans are kept in liquid
tank, which is cooled by the refrigerant evaporator. As conventional ice
plants take 12-24 hours to complete the cycle, this ice plant is
specially designed to demonstrate process of ice formation to be
complete within period of 4 hours and hence it is most suitable for
laboratory use.
