General Description

The Computer Controlled Teaching Frigorific Tank, "TFDC", is a food grade stainless steel tank with a refrigeration cycle to maintain the liquid product at the desired temperature. It is effectively insulated with injected polyurethane.

The unit has a refrigeration cycle with refrigerant regulated by an expansion valve that guarantees maximum performance and minimum consumption.

This unit includes all the necessary instruments and sensors to control and measure the most representative parameters.

Exercises and guided practices

GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL

  1. Influence of the temperature on the preservation of liquid foods.
  2. Influence of temperature on the properties of liquid foods.
  3. Influence of cold on milk microorganisms (requires laboratory material).
  4. Observation of a refrigeration system of a cooling tank.
  5. Energy balance

MORE PRACTICAL EXERCISES TO BE DONE WITH THE UNIT

  1. Many students view results simultaneously. To view all results in real time in the classroom by means of a projector or an electronic whiteboard.
  2. Open Control, Multicontrol and Real Time Control. This unit allows intrinsically and/or extrinsically to change the span, gains, proportional, integral, derivative parameters, etc. in real time.
  3. The Computer Control System with SCADA and PID Control allow a real industrial simulation.
  4. This unit is totally safe as uses mechanical, electrical/electronic, and software safety devices.
  5. This unit can be used for doing applied research.
  6. This unit can be used for giving training courses to Industries even to other Technical Education Institutions.
  7. Control of the TFDC unit process through the control interface box without the computer.
  8. Visualization of all the sensors values used in the TFDC unit process.
  9. By using PLC-PI additional 19 more exercises can be done.
  10. Several other exercises can be done and designed by the user.
