TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
The thermal conduction unit is made up of :
• Linear conduction module
▪ Transmitting Ø 25 mm metal cylinder of heat, isolated from outside,
equipped with three temperature sensors distributed linearly
▪ Receiving metal cylinder of heat, isolated from outside, equipped with
three temperature sensors. This element is cooled by cold water
circulation
▪ Cylindrical sample of different materials (Ø 25 brass, Ø 25 stainless
steel, Ø 15 brass), isolated from the environment, equipped with three
temperature probes spaced linearly. Samples can be quickly removed by
activating a spring-loaded clamping lever. This module makes it possible
to study the influence of the nature of materials and the surface contact
between the elements on the transmission of heat. |
• Aluminium profiled chassis equipped to
study linear conduction and radial conduction with cold water circulation.
• An electric console which regulates the
power supplied to the heating elements, and acts as the analog/numerical
interface for the temperature probes in the unit. An RS 232 output is
provided to allow for the observation of temperature readings in real time
while the heat transfer is occurring.
• Radial Conduction study Module
Consists of a metallic disk heated inside the centre, isolated from the
environment, equipped with six temperature probes spaced linearly on its
radius and periphery (cooled by cold water circulation) which allow
checking heat spreading. |
