TU-100 Basic Refrigeration Trainer

This training unit demonstrates domestic refrigerator and freezers, self-contained air conditioning units and reverse cycle or heat pump systems.

Features

• Sight glass tubes at inlet and outlet of evaporator and condenser constructed of explosion-proof, tie-bolt design
• Drip pans with drains located under each evaporator and condenser
• Uses popular, brand name components
• Color-coded valves, gauges, and hand valves to bypass various components and change from cooling to heating (heat pump operation)
• Conditions of refrigerant and oil can be observed under various methods of operation
• Pressure gauges located at each point in which pressure variation is likely to occur
• Refrigerant flow to evaporator metered either by capillary tube, automatic expansion valve (AXV), or thermostatic expansion valve (TXV)
• Evaporator and condenser copper tube coils with aluminum fins and variable speed fans
• A combination low pressure control and high pressure cutout and a thermostatic control with a range of -30ºF to 100ºF furnished
• High pressure cutout in the circuit at all times to prevent damage to the compressor
• Includes Lab Manual and Instructor Guide
