Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer | PolarX – 548
The Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer PolarX – 548 teaches the wiring, start-up, and safe operation of refrigerant compressors under mains voltage. This Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer includes a refrigerant circuit with compressor, receiver, 2 valves, and 2 manometers to test pressure switches on the delivery and intake sides. Electrical components, including start-up capacitor, start-up relay, overheat protection, automatic fuse, and thermostat (range -30~30°C), are mounted clearly visible with lab jacks and cables for connection. Optional LABVIEW-based DAQ software supports automated data measurement.
The Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer PolarX – 548 teaches the electrical connection, start-up, and operation of refrigerant compressors. This Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer also covers essential safety considerations when working with mains voltage.
Product Overview Connecting electrical components for the start and operation of refrigerant compressors is a common task in the refrigeration industry. The IRC-1914 equipment makes it possible to learn these concepts and skills. All components are operated and tested with mains voltage to ensure high practical relevance.
The electrical parts required to start and run the refrigerant compressor are organized for easy visibility. The electrical connection of individual components is made with cables via lab jacks. The capacitor and start-up relay, for example, are components required to start the motor. The front panel’s circuit schematic makes it simple to allocate the various parts.
The pressure switches on the intake and delivery sides of the compressor can be checked using the refrigeration circuit with the compressor and receiver. Valves are used to set the pressure, and a pressure switch is tripped. Two manometers make it possible to monitor the pressure curve. If one of the pressure switches trips, the compressor’s current supply is cut off. Other standard safety chain parts, such as automatic fuses and circuit breakers, are also wired and checked as part of this Hermetic Compressor Fault Simulator Trainer.
