Base unit for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Training System | PolarX – 584
The Base unit for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Training System PolarX – 584 extends into a full refrigeration circuit using various available models, including refrigerator, freezing-stage refrigeration, and air conditioning modules. This Base unit for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Training System features a hermetically sealed compressor (470W capacity, 280W consumption), forced air condenser, and 0.7L liquid receiver, monitored by 3 temperature sensors and pressure sensors on intake (-1~15bar) and delivery (-1~25bar) sides. Advanced software connects via USB or LAN for real-time data acquisition, system operation, and educational analysis. Electronic high and low pressure switches provide safety protection.
The Base unit for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Training System PolarX – 584 can be extended into a full refrigeration circuit depending on the experiment’s objectives. This Base unit for Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Training System supports various available models, including the refrigerator module, a refrigeration system with both cooling and freezing stages, or an air conditioning module.
Product Overview Key components of this training system include the compressor, condenser, receiver, and both electrical and communication systems. The models attach to the base unit and connect hydraulically through refrigerant hoses and electrically with cables. Self-sealing couplings minimize refrigerant loss, and the components are arranged to be clearly visible for monitoring their operation.
The system includes advanced software integrated with the hardware for ease of experimentation and analysis. The experimental unit connects to a PC via USB or LAN. The software includes a system operation and data acquisition program, as well as educational software that aids understanding with explanations and illustrations. Each model has a specific software module tailored to its learning objectives, and teachers can create additional exercises using an authoring system.
Sensors measure temperatures and pressures, which the software displays in real-time for both system operation and data acquisition. The software provides precise data on the refrigerant’s condition, allowing for accurate calculations of refrigerant mass flow rate. This method of calculation is more precise than traditional measurement techniques. The software also tracks the effects of parameter changes in a log p-h diagram and optionally allows system operation through the software.
