Heat Transfer
- The Base Unit is the core of the range.
- The Base Unit’s water system connects to a suitable cold water supply and drain.
- It also includes sockets for the thermocouples built into each optional experiment.
- It includes a hand-operated valve to help give a controllable water flow and a simple return pipe, both colour-coded.
- The water connections to the optional experiments are self-sealing quick connectors – for safety and simplicity.
- Clear, multi-line digital displays on the Base Unit show the temperatures and heater power of each experiment.
- A spare area to the right of the Base Unit frame allows you to fit the optional VDAS-F hardware.
- It provides cold water and heater power to the optional experiments and all the instruments needed to measure their performance.
- The Base Unit provides a variable and measured electrical current to the heater in each experiment and works with a safety switch to stop the heater from becoming too hot.
- Each optional experiment is on a bedplate that has a clear schematic diagram showing the connections and measuring point positions.
