ATENG 12845 detail
Heating power measurement with a wattmeter.
“J” type temperature sensor on the surface of the heating element.
Filter at the top of the chamber.
Distributor at the bottom of the bed chamber. Nine different distributors are included with different number of orifices, different sizes
of orifices and different distribution of orifices.
Graduated scale to measure the height of the bed.
- Two “J” type temperature sensors to measure:
Bed temperature.
