Construction and Design
The Temperature Control Trainer NexuMation 68 has an educational board with a vessel. The vessel is approx. 5 Liter. Plastic piping connects the circuit.
A water circulation pump delivers 10 l/min. A 400W heater element provides heating. Thermal sensors include K-Type Thermocouple, PT100, Bi-metallic, and Direct Reading types. A float switch with LED indicator senses level. A rota meter, direct reading type, measures flow.
The temperature control trainer has a temperature sensor interface with a T/V converter and DC amplifier. It has offset and gain control. The pump driver and heater driver are both DC to PWM drivers with DC level offset control.
A heat exchanger with fan provides cooling, with auto control by PID. Operation mode is internal and external. A fixed DC supply of +15V and -15V powers the trainer.
