COMPUTER CONTROLLED HEAT TRANSFER TEACHING EQUIPMENT HT10XC

FEATURES

• Small scale, bench top equipment
• Common service unit avoids unnecessary cost duplication for control and instrumentation
• Multiple accessories available covering a wide range of heat transfer investigations
• Computer control of heaters, water flow, air flow, with safety functions implemented to allow for remote operation
• Improved accuracy for quantitative results which can be related directly to theory
• Integral USB interface
• Full educational software, with data logging, control, graph plotting, and detailed ‘Help’

Remote Operation Capability

A specific feature of the HT10XC is that it incorporates the facilities and safety features to allow the accessories to be remotely controlled from an external computer, where this is appropriate. With suitable (user provided) software, this means that the equipment can be operated remotely, for instance over an intra-net or even over the internet. All the facilities can also be accessed locally using the front panel controls and display.

ACCESSORIES

The following heat transfer accessories are available for use under manual control:

• HT11: Linear heat conduction
• HT12: Radial heat conduction
• HT13: Laws of radiant heat transfer and radiant heat exchange*
• HT14: Combined convection and radiation
• HT15: Extended surface heat transfer
• HT16: Radiation errors in temperature measurement
• HT17: Unsteady state heat transfer*
• HT19: Free & forced convection

In addition the following accessories can be used in computer control and remote control applications:

• HT11C: Computer controlled linear heat conduction
• (material samples still need changing manually)
• HT12C: Computer controlled radial heat conduction
• HT14C: Computer controlled combined convection and radiation
• HT15: Extended surface heat transfer
• HT16C: Computer controlled radiation errors in temperature measurement
• HT18C: Thermo-Electric Heat Pump

 *NOTE: The HT13 and the HT17 are not suitable for computer control due to the amount of manual intervention required. The standard HT15 can be used for computer control as no manual intervention is required
