    DLM-1 Cross Flow Heat Exchanger

    This cartridge demonstrates the function of a fan and radiator to cool water. The DLMX reservoir is filled with hot water, which is pumped through the heat exchanger. The inlet and outlet water temperatures are measured to demonstrate the cooling effect. The relationship between heat transfer and water flow rate can also be investigated.

    DLM-2 Fluidised Bed

    A highly visual demonstration of a fluidised bed. The onset of fluidisation can be demonstrated and the way the height of the bed varies with the flow rate. The pressure drop across the bed is measured, so the way the pressure varies before the onset of fluidisation and after fluidisation has occurred can be illustrated and compared to theory.

    DLM-3 Orifice Plate

    The use of an orifice plate to measure flow is demonstrated by measuring the pressure drop across a defined orifice. The geometry of the orifice is in accordance with standard industrial orifice flow meters.

    DLM-4 Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger

    This cartridge requires two DLMX base units*, one filled with hot water, and one filled with cold water. The inlet and outlet temperatures of both fluid streams are measured, enabling the heat transfer coefficient to be measured and an energy balance to be performed. The two flow rates can be individually varied and the flow direction through the shell can be easily changed. The internal geometry of the DLM-4 is based on industrial 2-1 shell and tube heat exchangers.

    DLM-5 Tubular Heat Exchanger (tube in tube)

    This cartridge requires two DLMX base units*, one filled with hot water and one filled with cold water. The inlet and outlet temperatures of both fluid streams are measured, enabling the heat transfer coefficient to be measured and an energy balance to be performed. Reversing the flow in the outer tube demonstrates the difference between co-current and counter-current operation.

    DLM-6 Energy Losses in Hydraulic Systems

    This cartridge simultaneously measures the pressure drop across a straight pipe, a smooth bend and a right angle bend. Each test section is of the same cross section and same path length, enabling meaningful comparisons to be made. The additional energy losses due to the geometry of the flow path can be clearly seen at different flow rates and the relationship to theory can be established.

    DLM-7 Venturi System

    The DLM-7 demonstrates the Bernoulli equation, showing how low pressure is generated in the throat of a venturi tube, and how this is affected by flow. The flow recovery is also demonstrated by measuring the total pressure drop across the module. The geometry of the venturi orifice is in accordance with standard industrial venturi flow meters, so the use of a venturi to measure flow can also be demonstrated.

    INTERFACE UNIT - IFD7

    The interface between the Capture MKII units and the users computer is provided by the Armfield IFD7 Interface Unit. This conditions the raw data from the sensors, digitises the data and transfers it to the computer using the USB interface. It also includes a sophisticated three phase inverter for providing accurate motor speed control, and a second motor drive output, all under software control.

    The centrifugal fan is a radial flow machine, which produces the necessary pressure to move gas by the centrifugal force built up inside the fan casing. The design of the fan blade has a primary influence on performance.

    These types of fans are usually employed for ventilating duties requiring a somewhat higher delivery pressure than that available from axial fans.

    CENTRIFUGAL FAN DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM40

    The axial fan produces gas flow by virtue of the momentum changes imparted across the rotary blades, parallel to the axis of rotation. Such fans are more suitable for higher flows at lower delivery pressures than their centrifugal counterparts. Comparison of the performance characteristics of the FM41 Axial Fan with those of the FM40 Centrifugal Fan thus provides an instructional exercise of valuable practical application.

    AXIAL FAN DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM41

    Multi-stage compressors are used industrially for high pressure deliveries of gas flows or suction duties.

    The kinetic energy imparted to the gas by the impeller rotation is converted into pressure energy, which progressively increases from stage to stage.

    CENTRIFUGAL COMPRESSOR DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM42

    The Armfield FM CAPTURE range is a unique range of small-scale teaching equipment, designed to give students an unparalleled insight into the principles of these machines.

    With the introduction of CAPTURE, machines that were once costly, cumbersome and difficult to use became affordable, space-saving and easy to use. Now CAPTURE MKII takes the concept forward into new realms of student understanding, adding superb visibility of the working of the machines and taking full advantage of the latest software and instrumentation techniques.

    All the CAPTURE units use standard PCs to display, record and manipulate the data. All Armfield CAPTURE units are now supplied with Armfield Armsoft LabVIEW based software to present and record the data in a way that is straightforward to use and understand for the student, yet offers a wide range of advanced features and capabilities. A common software format is used across all machines. Similarly the machines all use a common interface unit, thus providing a cost-effective solution for laboratories requiring several machines.

    PLUNGER PUMP DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM53

    A bench mounted unit consisting of a clear acrylic reservoir and a variable speed centrifugal pump, which provides water to power the accessory on test. The service unit also incorporates a water flow meter and electrically controlled dynamometer, which puts a load on to the turbine and measures the torque and speed.

    TURBINE SERVICE UNIT - FM6X

    FM6X Turbine Service Unit shown with FM62 Pelton Turbine Demonstration Unit

    A miniature-scale propeller turbine unit, which is supplied as a floor-standing unit complete with a sump tank and recirculating pump. The turbine is housed in clear acrylic pipe work permitting excellent visibility. The turbine is loaded by an electronically controlled brake fitted with a load cell to measure the torque.

    PROPELLER TURBINE DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM63

    TURBINES - FM 60 SERIES PUMPS - FM 50 SERIESThe Armfield FM6 range of hydropower units consists of four small-scale representations of industrial machines. The principles of design and operation of impulse and reaction turbines in both axial and radial flow situations is clearly demonstrated.

    Three of the machines may be separately mounted on the common Turbine Service Unit (FM6X) for self-contained operation, while the fourth - the low head propeller turbine unit FM63 - has a specially designed service system of its own to accommodate the necessary larger water flows.

    The centrifugal pump is the machine most commonly used to move liquids from one place to another. As such its a particularly instructive unit, which introduces students to the whole subject of rotodynamic fluid machines.

    Discovering the relationship between head, flow, rotational speed and power provides a framework of general applicability. For example, matching the required duty point to the conditions of maximum energy efficiency may be explored as a creative student project.

    CENTRIFUGAL PUMP DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM50

    Centrifugal pumps are often used together to enhance either the flow rate or the delivery pressure beyond that available from the single pump.

    The unit is designed to demonstrate the operational advantages of parallel or series operation, depending on the required duty.

    SERIES AND PARALLEL PUMPS DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM51

    A miniature-scale axial flow, impulse turbine consisting of a brass runner, which is acted on by four jets of water. The flow to the turbine can be adjusted by changing the pump speed or closing off any of the nozzles. The turbine is housed in clear acrylic for excellent visibility. The unit is designed to mount on the FM6X Turbine Service Unit.

    AXIAL FLOW IMPULSE TURBINE - FM60

    view online: www.armfield.co.uk/fm60

    A miniature-scale Pelton wheel turbine, complete with a spear valve to control the water flow. The turbine buckets are shaped to extract maximum momentum from the passing jet of water, while the spear valve is designed to enable adjustment of the cross sectional area of the jet.

    PELTON TURBINE - FM62

    view online: www.armfield.co.uk/fm62 view online: www.armfield.co.uk/fm63

    The plunger or ram pump is a positive displacement pump and is used for pumping small quantities of liquid at high pressures. It is similar to a piston pump except that the sealing gland is at one end of the cylinder.

    The reciprocating motion of the plunger gives an uneven flow, although the inclusion of a damping vessel can reduce this effect. Priming is unnecessary.

    The gear pump is the most widely used of the positive action rotary pumps. Two gear wheels operate inside a casing; one is driven while the other rotates in mesh with it. The liquid is carried around in the space between consecutive teeth and then ejected as the teeth mesh.

    The pump has no valves. It is a positive displacement pump and will deliver against high pressures. The output is a more even flow than that of a reciprocating pump. It is particularly suitable for high viscosity fluids.

    GEAR PUMP DEMONSTRATION UNIT - FM52

    1716

    A miniature-scale radial flow reaction turbine, where water enters through a face seal and exits tangentially through two orifices. The reaction of these jets causes rotation of the runner. The turbine is housed in clear acrylic for excellent visibility. The unit is designed to mount on the FM6X Service Unit.

    HEAT TRANSFER ARMFIELD REVOLUTIONISE LABORATORY TEACHINGCIVIL | CHEMICAL | MECHANICAL | MARINE | FOOD

    The Armfield HT10XC is a computer controlled service unit, which can be used in conjunction with a range of small-scale accessories for a wide range of demonstrations into the modes of heat transfer. The factors that affect heat transfer can be investigated and some of the practical problems associated with the transfer of heat can be clearly demonstrated.

    The heat transfer accessories may be individually connected to the HT10XC service unit, which provides the necessary electrical supplies and measurement facilities for investigation and comparison of the different heat transfer characteristics.

    COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAT TRANSFER TEACHING EQUIPMENT - HT10XC

    A specific feature of the HT10XC is that it incorporates the facilities and safety features to enable the accessories to be remotely controlled from an external computer, where this is appropriate. It will shut down safely in the event of a communications failure. With suitable (user provided) software, the equipment can be operated remotely, for instance over an intranet or even over the internet. All the facilities can also be accessed locally using the front panel controls and display.

    The Armfield HT30XC Computer Controlled Heat Exchanger Module has played an important part in the development of computer controlled experiments over the internet described in a paper* published in the USA journal, Chemical Engineering Education and involving Cambridge (England) students use of equipment in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

    This bench top computer controlled service unit enables the operation of the Armfield range of small-scale heat exchanger systems. It provides controlled cold water flow, bi-directional hot water flow and the instrumentation required to do a series of in-depth investigations into heat exchanger performance. The individual heat exchangers can be quickly changed over, to enable comparisons between different types of heat exchanger to be made. The HT30XC requires a personal computer with USB for the operator interface.

    Educational software is provided for all Armfield heat exchangers. Included are drivers to enable other software applications to communicate with the HT30XC via the USB interface. Users can also write their own software typically in LabVIEW, MatLab, C, C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi, among others, to remotely control the equipment, for example, over a Local Area Network (LAN) or even over the internet. The HT30XC is ideal for this, as it has been designed to shut down safely in the event of a communications failure. Once the heat exchanger has been installed and configured, the student does not need to be present with the equipment.

    Two pieces of laboratory teaching equipment developed by Armfield in collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could revolutionise the way undergraduate engineering students use teaching laboratories.

    The HT10XC Heat Transfer Teaching Equipment and the HT30XC Heat Exchangers Service Module are computer controlled bench top systems to teach the principles of their respective subjects. In addition to being able to be used in a conventional laboratory, users can also write software to enable them to be used over an intranet, local area network (LAN) or the internet. This means that both students and lecturers are no longer confined to the physical laboratory and that many students can share the learning experience at the same time.
