Ice Plant Test Rig Description and Specifications for Lab Tenders
Ice Plant Test Rig.
Ice Plant Test Rig
The unit enables the students to study the Basic Principals of ice
plant cycle within a short period. The test rig is designed for the
study of thermodynamics of vapour Compression refrigeration cycle by way
of demonstration and experimentation. It has a facility to measure
various parameters for experimentation. Ice cans are kept in liquid
tank, which is cooled by the refrigerant evaporator. As conventional ice
plants take 12-24 hours to complete the cycle, this ice plant is
specially designed to demonstrate process of ice formation to be
complete within period of 4 hours and hence it is most suitable for
laboratory use.
