Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Astra Scientific Exhaust Gas Calorimeter.
The experimental exhaust gas calorimeter water heat exchange to be used
with multi-cylinder engine. Small vertical finned tubes enclosed in
insulated stainless steel chamber. Exhaust gas from engine can be
connected to the calorimeter and flow around the finned tubes while
cooling water flows inside the tubes. Chamber can be disassembled for
cleaning the finned tubes. Instruments gear for display of water flow
rate, temperatures of exhaust and water. Requires water supply.
Determination of the thermal exhaust gas losses is essential when
calculating an energy balance for internal combustion engines.
Calorimetric measurement is an established method of doing this. It
involves a largely complete and loss-free heat exchange between the
exhaust gas and a cooling medium.
FEATURES:
• Counter flow heat exchanger for calorimetric analysis of exhaust gases from internal combustion engines
• Determination of the amount of heat contained in the exhaust gas from test engines
• Calorimeter consisting of finned pipe heat exchanger and insulated tank
• Instrumentation: 4 temperature sensors, flow meter
• Measuring amplifier with digital displays
• Connection between engine and calorimeter using exhaust gas hose
• Cold water connection and drain required
