Technical Specifications
ATENG 12773 — Computer Controlled Cooling Plant with Ice Store
(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):
1TCPISC. Plant:
Cooling plant at teaching and industrial level, with modular design, and computer controlled. Plant with
ice store, wet cooling tower and dry cooler.
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.
The different units (modules) connected with hoses.
Refrigeration circuit (condenser, evaporator,
compressor) and pumps.
Wet cooling tower.
Dry cooler.
Using valves different operating modes can be
configured.
Ice tank.
Liquid tank.
High pressure control.
Manometers.
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.
