Construction and Design

The Heat Transfer Service Unit ThermoFlux - 7049 is a bench-top unit providing a standardised instrumentation and power interface for the complete ThermoFlux - 7049 series of heat transfer modules. Regulated and adjustable DC power is supplied to connected modules, with multiple auxiliary power outlets accommodating additional peripheral equipment. A 9-point digital temperature indicator accepts nine Type K thermocouples across a measurement range of 0 to 800°C, with 10 individual measurement channels each covering -100 to 400°C. Temperature, voltage, and current readings are each displayed on dedicated digital meters.

The heat controller is configurable in PID mode, enabling precise and stable thermal regulation during experiments. Internal electronic and mechanical safety devices are integrated throughout the unit, qualifying it for unsupervised student operation in a laboratory environment.

This heat transfer service unit uses a modular architecture. Any module from the ThermoFlux - 7049 series connects to the same standardised interface without modification. The design accommodates future module additions as educational requirements expand. An optional autonomous pilot unit with computerised control software is available for advanced automated operation. Optional DAQ software, developed in the National Instruments LABVIEW environment, supports real-time data acquisition and analysis on any Windows operating system, with a set of electronic sensors included when this option is selected.
