TA500-500/CCSOF. Computer Control+Data Acquisition+Data Management Software:
Anodized aluminium structure. Panels and main metallic elements in stainless steel.
Diagram in the front panel with similar distribution that the elements in the real unit.
Adequate Size for flow visualizations on standard models of planes.
Useful for teaching and development projects.
Top quality vein, uniformity and low turbulence level.
Low operation and maintenance cost.
The water tunnel of 500*500 mm, of low turbulence level, is specifically designed for carrying out visualization tests on three-dimensional models,
though, of course, they can also be used on two-dimensional models.
As it is a closed circuit, it operates continuously and uses the same water, although it may be necessary to renew it once it has lost its transparency
due to the use of colouring.
However, if the technique of the hydrogen bubble is used as tracer this problem can also be avoided.
Its dimensions and low operating costs make it suitable for teaching as well as for research or industrial use. Assorted systems for registering images
and taking measurements can be incorporated when necessary.
Control interface box with process diagram in the front panel and with the same distribution that the different elements located in the unit, for an easy
understanding by the student.
All sensors, with its respective signals, are properly manipulated for 0-10V computer output.
Sensors connectors in the interface have different pines numbers (from 2 to 16), to avoid connection errors. Single cable between the control interface box
and computer.
The unit control elements are permanently computer controlled, without necessity of changes or connections during the whole process test procedure.
Real time PID control, with flexibility of modifications, from the computer keyboard, of the PID parameters, at any moment during the .process.
Shield and filtered signals to avoid external interferences.
PID and on/off control in real time for pumps, compressors, resistances, etc.
Conventional mechanical and electrical protection systems, and also, computer protection and in a simultaneous way.
Speed control.
Proportional position control with feed back system, total PID control as much in velocity as in position (proportional band and proportional error).
