TFM-500 – Thermodynamic Cycles of Reciprocating Machines
Référence : TFM-500
General Description
The TFM-500 is a complete educational system designed for studying thermodynamic cycles of reciprocating machines, particularly compressed air generation systems. It enables analysis of a two-stage compressor and visualization of compression processes using a p-V diagram.
Applications
- Technical and engineering education
- Industrial pneumatic system training
- Energy and mechanical engineering laboratories
- Thermodynamic cycle demonstrations
Main Features
- Recording characteristics of a two-stage compressor
- Visualization of compression processes (p-V diagram)
- Measurement of pressure, temperature, and electrical power
- Determination of intake volumetric flow rate
- Intercooling between compression stages
- Touchscreen control with intuitive interface
- PLC-based system control
- Remote operation via integrated router (up to 10 devices)
- Internal data storage via USB
System Structure
Compression
Two-stage piston compressor with V-arranged cylinders for efficient compression.
Cooling
Intercooling via intermediate pressure vessel between stages.
Storage and Safety
Pressure vessels equipped with safety valves, pressure switch, blow-off valve, and silencer.
