Thermal and electrical measurements (voltage, current, 12 temperatures, refrigeration and hydraulic pressure, water and air flow, electronic control signals)
Heat exchangers (multitube-in-tube, finned tube)
Variable flow (compressor, water circulator with PWM control, brushless motor fan)
Hydraulic distribution (expansion valve, valve, bleeder…)
Eco-designed fan coil unit
Radio and/or KNX control
Training activities:
Performance analysis and simulation of a building equipped with a air/water heat pump. Comparison with other heat generators.
Functional analysis of a air/water heat pump
Energy savings for motors, exchangers and regulation
Heat pump control (water logic, compensation, monitoring controls, …) and fan coil unit control
Refrigerating circuit, enthalpy chart, calculating the coefficient of performance (COP) of the heat pump
Eco-design strategy of the fan coil unit
Studying the "multitube-in-tube" stainless steel/copper exchanger
Studying the Vortex flow meter (additional flow meter supplied)
Electronic architecture of the heat pump controller
Studying the fan coil controller (wire, KNX) and PID control
Mechanical study of 3D components (compressor, 4V valve, circulator, motor-fan…)
Project: Operate the fan coil unit with a KNX controller
Key points:
Thermodynamic heating/cooling (heat pump) is widely used
Actual dimensioning of the heat pump (5kW thermal power) and fan coil unit, for a low-energy house
Many thermal and electrical measuring points
Refrigerating, hydraulic and air flow circuits on the same system
Executables with Labview and 3D Solidworks models of the parts are supplied
