DESCRIPTION :

The total set up comprises of Centrifugal fan which blows air through a square duct which consists of several sections as following.
(A) INITIAL CONDITIONING SECTION
This section comprises of a cooling coil circuit, heater section and steam humidification system. This section enables simulation of normal year round weather conditions to some extent in the confined space of the duct.
B) FIRST OBSERVATION SECTION
This section consists of flow stabilization zone and temperature measurement section. Here condition of simulated air coming out of the first conditioning section is observed and recorded.
C) SECOND CONDITIONING SECTION
This section incorporates cooling coil, heaters and humidifier tubes as in first conditioning section. The equipment incorporated in this section can be operated suitably to bring final air condition somewhere near comfort conditioning zone.
D) SECOND OBSERVATION SECTION
This section incorporates flow stabilization zone and measurement section where final condition of air is observed and recorded after conditioning the same in second conditioning section.

FEATURES :-

Air conditioning is simultaneous control of temperature, humidity, air motion and purity of the atmosphere in a confined space. Air conditioning Trainer facilitates study of such air conditioning process especially related to comfort conditions. Unique facility of simulation of summer and winter conditions in the duct is speciality of Air Conditioning Trainer.
