Computer Controlled Air Ventilation and Conditioning Unit

The Computer Controlled Air Ventilation and Conditioning Unit, allows users to observe and analyze in a practical way the operation of a real ventilation installation, using components equivalent to those employed in commercial ventilation engineering.

ATENG 11899 — Computer Controlled Air Ventilation and Conditioning Unit

(for main items)

• With this unit there are several options and possibilities:
• Main items: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
• Optional items: 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11.
• Let us describe first the main items (1 to 6):
• 1 ATENG 11899. Unit:
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted
  steel.
  Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements
  similar to the real one.
  This Ventilation Trainer enables students to study basic airflow
  and fluid mechanics as well as process of commissioning
  and balancing a multi-ducted air distribution system.
• Computer controlled variable speed centrifugal fan:
• Maximum speed: 2500 rpm.
• Maximum flow rate: 2160 m³/h.
  Rectangular air intake and filter holder.
  The fan discharges into a steel duct and this connects to the
  distribution ductwork.
  Connections and ductwork are manufactured in steel and
  may be connected in different forms.
  The ductwork is supported from air distribution isolation
  mounts hung on steel pedestals linked together.
  Necessary components are supplied with the unit to enable
  parallel branch and line balancing experiments to be
  undertaken.
• Air power supply points that may be balanced on the Unit: ATENG 11899
  assembled unit to supply a range of airflows are provided.
  A wall ventilation outlet.
  A ceiling ventilation outlet.
  Air inlet with grilles. They can be closed by a shutter system commonly used in ventilation systems.
• Pressure sensors. Range -1 a1 bar aprox.
• Air flow sensors. Range: 0–2,500 m³/h.
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
  importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user, as well as remote support from technical
  support, are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.
