Steam Motor & Energy Conversion Test Kit 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.
Features
– Ideal for students to gain insight into the first and second laws of thermodynamics
– Introduces students to industry-standard methods of analysing steam plant performance, including Rankine Cycle Analysis and using the Willans Line
– Uses a simple two-cylinder steam motor and an electrically-heated boiler for easy understanding of the main parts of a steam plant
– Self-contained in a mobile frame that includes all instruments needed for experiments
Item Description
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.
Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
Technical Specifications
– Motor power: approximately 90 W at 2000 rev.min–1
– Boiler: Electrically heated by two independently-switched Immersion heaters. Maximum experiment pressure approximately 350 kPa (set by 400 kPa pressure relief safety valve)
– Throttling calorimeter and thermocouple to measure the dryness fraction of the steam
