WL 312 Multipurpose Air Duct and Heat Transfer Unit Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description

  The trainer comprises an insulated duct through which air is drawn with the aid of a fan. The airflow generated is homogeneous due to a specially shaped inlet area. Different heat exchanger elements can be inserted in the duct: plain tubes (WL 312.01), finned tubes (WL 312.02), direct expansion coil (WL 312.03).
  Velocity distributions and pressure loss are measured with a Pitot tube and an inclined tube manometer. Temperature and humidity sensors are included. The following accessories are recommended for supplying the heat exchanger: hot water bench (WL 312.10), cold water bench (WL 312.11), condensing unit (WL 312.12).

  
Learning Objectives / Experiments
