Steam Motor & Energy Conversion Test Kit Model BSG 009
Steam Motor & Energy Conversion Test Kit Model BSG 009
Sci-tech Steam Motor & Energy Conversion Test Kit Model BSG 009 is a mobile laboratory-scale steam plant for experiments in thermodynamic principles.
A mobile frame contains all the parts of the test set. An electric pump draws from a reservoir (included) to deliver water to an electrically-heated boiler. The boiler includes a safety valve, water level gauge and ‘blow-down cock’. The boiler produces steam to turn a two-cylinder steam motor. The used steam from the motor outlet passes through a mains water-cooled condenser, then down to a waste tank or to a measuring vessel (supplied). The equipment includes all instruments needed for the experiments. These include a band-brake dynamometer with a digital torque and speed display, to measure and display motor speed, torque and power. Thermocouples connect to a digital temperature display to measure and display temperatures at key points in the test set. A throttling calorimeter allows students to measure the dryness fraction of the steam.
Two mechanical gauges show the boiler and engine inlet pressures. A meter shows the electrical power supplied to the heaters in the boiler.

- Thermocouples and display for steam and cooling water temperatures
- Power meter for heater power input.
- Calibrated vessel with stopwatch and thermometer for condensate (steam flow) measurement.
Water (solvent) is circulated using a centrifugal pump, using a 50 litre capacity feed tank. - A comprehensive instruction manual is supplied which details the necessary installation, commissioning and maintenance procedures.
- Optional: Sci-CalR Computer Control Software & Interface
Sci-CalR software & hardware has been designed for use with more than 600 ‘Sci-tech’ trainers. Sci-CalR comes in a module that can be fitted or mounted on the Sci-tech trainers very easily.
Sci-CalR box has 11 inches front HMI interactive panel, inside are i3 processor computer with it’s own hard drive & software processor with 16 to 32 analog and 16 to 32 digital signal data-loggers. The ‘LabVIEW’ processes the input signal with in-built data and formulae to tabulate results for the Sci-tech trainers.
Sci-CalR box has HDMI output for connection to a projector or an electronic whiteboard or a monitor.
Sci-CalR box has input ports for inputs from the Sci-tech trainer sensors.
Sci-CalR eliminates requirement of external computer.
