Pressure Control System

SKU# CT1733

Process Control Pressure CT1733 WEB

The Pressure system consists of a variable speed reciprocating air pump (compressor), the speed of which can be adjusted by students, a pressure vessel and an outflow system. The outflow system allows the air to escape via either a manually operated needle valve – providing an ongoing outflow, or via a solenoid valve and second needle valve – providing a step change in outflow. The vessel pressure is measured by a Bourdon type mechanical gauge along with a pressure sensor. The Bourdon gauge provides a visual indication of the pressure in the vessel and a means for students to check and calibrate the controller input from the pressure sensor.
