MR013 Central heating system vocational training equipment educational equipment Thermal Educational Equipment Function and operating behaviour of a hot water heating system with digital heating controller
Features
- modern heating system with digital controller - closed water circuit with expansion vessel
Learning objectives/experiments - familiarisation with the components of a modern heating system and their function - operating behaviour of a digitally controlled heating circuit with three-way mixing valve - operating behaviour of a digitally controlled heating circuit with four-way mixing valve - investigations on a plate heat exchanger operated in counterflow - investigation of pressure loss on different valves and fittings - filling heating systems - commissioning heating systems - hydronic balancing of radiators
- determination of pump curves - determination of pipework characteristics - behaviour of system with air in the pipework Specification
