Reciprocating Air Compressor Test Rig

A CE-certified compressor test rig for studying compression ratios, volumetric efficiency, and isothermal work input, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Thermodynamics Lab Equipment laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.

The Reciprocating Air Compressor Test Rig manufactured by Scientico India is a laboratory apparatus for studying the performance of a single-stage reciprocating compressor. Students determine volumetric efficiency, isothermal efficiency, FAD (Free Air Delivered), P-V indicator diagram, and the effect of delivery pressure on compressor performance. It is a standard Thermodynamics and Fluid Machinery lab apparatus for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering programmes.
