T108/9D/C - Computerized Boiling Point Heat Transfer

Unit - Code 953809

1. General
The Didacta Computerized Boiling Point Heat Transfer Unit T108/9D/C (Code 953809) is designed to display the various
types of boiling to change the intensity of the heat flow. More precisely, can be reproduced the nucleate and the film boiling
and it can plot the so-called "pool boiling" which is the basis of the design of the systems with the steam boiler. The
experiment is performed with environmentally-friendly, special low boiling point liquid.
A transparent vessel allows to observe the evaporation process at the heated cylinder. The cylinder operates as a fire tube
heated from the inside. An integrated water-cooled condenser allows for a continuous boiling process. The special liquid
used evaporates at low temperatures.
An automatic data acquisition and analysis system for Personal Computer allows to take the measurements automatically, to
plot the curves on screen or print them out, to store the experimental data on disk or print them.
The unit is supplied with manuals that describe each component of the system, installation and utilization procedures and
give many exercises.

 Data acquisition and analysis software
The acquisition and analysis software operates under MS-Windows and allows to capture data from the transducers located
on the plant.
So it is possible to monitor the plant by displaying on the PC screen, in real time, the acquired parameters and to manage
alarm signals, when a parameter goes out of range.
The software allows to display on the screen or to print the diagrams of the acquired data as a function of time. Acquired
data can be saved onto disk in ASCII format. Besides it is possible to carry out simulations by introducing data through the
keyboard.
