Hydraulic Bench

A mobile, self-contained hydraulic bench that feeds a controlled flow of water to the fluid mechanics experiments and measures that flow two ways. Students read it on the digital display, then time the water rising in the stepped volumetric tank and compare the two results. The water recirculates through a 250 litre sump tank, so once filled the bench needs no mains water.

Ventilation System

A ventilation system built from industrial ventilation components, with a control unit for room temperature control. Students measure the pressures along the air duct, draw the pressure curve of the whole system, measure the electric power of the fan and work out the air flow rate. With the control unit and a hot water supply they control the temperature of the air.

PID Temperature Control

A modular apparatus for the study of temperature control with a PID controller. A PT100 sensor measures the temperature inside a box heated by a lamp, and a converter turns the reading into a 4-20 mA signal. The PID controller answers through its own 4-20 mA output, which drives the thyristor power dimmer that feeds the lamp. Students wire the whole loop themselves with safety leads.

AC and DC Circuit Fundamentals

Direct current circuits Ohm's law, resistors in series and in parallel Voltage divider with the potentiometer Single-phase alternating current circuits Behaviour of a coil in an AC circuit, with the fluorescent tube in parallel Charging and discharging a capacitor Galvanic separation with the 1:1 laboratory transformer Switching with a DC relay and with an AC relay Three-phase circuits Resistors in star and in delta Phase and line quantities Starting and loading a DC motor Electromagnetism with the coil and the iron rod Measurement with the digital multimeter, voltage, current, resistance and temperature Continuity and diode testing Fault finding, from the faults the selector switch introduces

PLC and HMI Programming

A modular apparatus for the study of programmable logic controllers and operator panels. Students wire a PLC and an HMI touch panel with safety leads to push-buttons and switches, a limit switch, a PT100 sensor, light and wind sensors, contactors, indicator lights and three 230 V wall lights. They write the control program in ladder diagram, set up the Ethernet network and build the operator screens.

Fault Finding in Asynchronous Motors

A kit on wheels for the study of the faults that most often stop a three-phase squirrel-cage asynchronous motor with brake. It has two units, a diagnosis panel for the student and a control panel for the teacher, plus the motor and its braking system. The teacher sets a fault. The student finds it by measurement and safety testing.

Starting of Asynchronous Motors

A self-contained apparatus for the study of the starting methods of a three-phase asynchronous motor. The motor, a powder brake and a tachogenerator sit on a base with wheels next to the electrical cabinet. The student selects the type of start with push-buttons and lamps on the cabinet, and a multifunction measuring unit and a digital speed display show what each method does to the currents, the powers and the run-up of the motor.

Hybrid Drivetrains

AM771 is a complete hybrid drivetrain of a production car, mounted on a mobile frame. It is designed for the study of hybrid drivetrains and their components, including the petrol engine, electric motor-generators, automatic transmission, high-voltage battery, power electronics, and air conditioning system. The apparatus allows for hands-on learning and experimentation with hybrid vehicle technology.
