Air Compressor Test Rig
Overview
The Air Compressor Test Rig is a laboratory trainer designed to study the performance characteristics of a multi-stage air compressor. Specially developed for I.T.I., engineering colleges, polytechnic institutes, and research labs, this air compressor lab equipment helps students gain hands-on experience in the field of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
By conducting controlled experiments, learners can measure volumetric efficiency, compression ratio, isothermal efficiency, and overall performance of the compressor. This air compressor trainer is a reliable and user-friendly setup for repeated academic use.
Product Description
The air compressor test rig educational setup consists of a multi-stage air compressor, a motor drive, air storage tank, pressure gauges, temperature sensors, and a control panel. The compressor draws atmospheric air, compresses it, and delivers it into the receiver tank, where pressure and temperature can be monitored.
This setup is integrated with measuring instruments to calculate input power, discharge pressure, air flow rate, and efficiency parameters. Students can compare theoretical values with experimental results, making it an ideal thermodynamics and fluid mechanics educational equipment. Built with durable construction and easy-to-use controls, the rig is suitable for demonstrations, experimental studies, and performance testing in labs.
