INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES - CM14 Axial Flow Gas Turbine

The new CM14 is a complete aeronautical axial flow gas turbine engine, and a great tool for those teaching and studying in areas such as engine systems and thermodynamics.

The engine itself is a small compact Olympus HP E-start turbine engine, comprising a single stage radial compressor, annular combustion chamber, and a low mass, high performance axial flow turbine. Full instrumentation is included as standard, allowing the measurment of a wide range of variables such as temperature, pressure, air and fuel flow, shaft speed and thrust.

The CM14 connects to a PC via a single USB interface, allowing for easy installation into a test cell or soundproof enclosure. The included software runs on the user's PC, and features powerful educational tools together with sophisticated graph plotting and data logging capability.

HYDRUALICS & HYDROLOGY - S16 Hydraulic Flow Demonstrator

A freestanding accessory to the F1-10 Hydraulic Bench that allows hydraulic phenomena, associated with the flow of water through both open channels and closed conduits, to be set up quickly, easily and visually demonstrated. Measurements taken in each configuration allow the associated flow conditions to be analysed.

An elevating section of the bed inside the channel and models of various hydraulic structures allow the difficult concepts of critical flow/velocity/depth and energy changes to be clearly demonstrated and analysed.

Models supplied include the Undershot weir, Overshot weir, Narrow crested weir, Broad crested weir, Ogee weir and Culvert. In all cases the effects of changes in upstream and downstream water level can be investigated.

UNIT OPERATIONS - UOP15 Fixed Bed Adsorption Unit

UOP15 demonstrates the adsorption of a solute, carbon dioxide, from a binary gas mixture onto the surface of a solid adsorbent, activated carbon. The process takes place in a fixed bed adsorption column. The adsorption and desorption/regeneration processes are monitored using temperature sensors sited at intervals along the column and also by carbon dioxide measurement of the exit gas using an infra red (IR) detector.

COMPLETE CAPTURE

The new range of CAPTURE FM SERIES Fluid Machines featuring
the transparency which allows students to see
what’s happening while they use them.

CAPTURE enters a new era - CAPTURE MKII

CAPTURE MKII

The new FM range starts here

Our Capture range of rotodynamic machines is being completely revamped, with the FM40 Fan Demonstration Units, FM50 Series Pump Demonstration Units and FM60 Turbine Demonstration Units now on the market.

Each unit has been designed with special features to give maximum educational benefit. Bodies and covers are manufactured from transparent acrylic to allow students to view the internal mechanisms and easily visualise flow paths. The centrifugal pump rigs are also supplied with alternative impellers which can be changed over by students, allowing investigation into the effects on pump performance.

IFD7 Interface Unit
IFD7 Interface Unit
The new range is interfaced to the PC via a new IFD7 Interface Console. This provides signal conditioning for all of the sensors used, and is connected to the equipment using a single multi-way cable (doing away with individual sensor electronics and telephone cables). The interface also incorporates a three-phase inverter drive which accurately controls the speed of the motors and relays a torque reading to the computer (this replaces the SWA1 Integrating Wattmeter making a significant cost saving). Pump start/stop and speed control are via software for improved ease of use.

C SERIES C15 Computer Controlled
Wind Tunnel

The Armfield C15 is a new computer controlled subsonic
benchtop wind tunnel designed for undergraduate teaching

C15 Computer ControlledWind Tunnel

learn more about the C15

It has a 150mm (six inch) transparent working section and comes with a wide range of models and options for aerodynamic and air flow studies. Options include an inclined manometer bank or an electronic manometer bank.

A special feature is the electronic lift and drag balance, where sensors are used to measure the forces. The model being tested can be rotated and the angle of rotation measured electronically.
Readings are displayed on the control software screen and can be logged.

Models include a lift and drag aerofoil, pressure wing, drag models of various shapes, a pressure cylinder, Bernoulli apparatus, boundary layer plate and a project kit which allows users to make their own models.

FT83 Sterile Filling System

The FT83 offers economical miniature-scale aseptic processing and packaging

The new Armfield FT83 Sterile Filling System is an economical and simple way of preparing sterile package samples with an excellent shelf life.

When combined with an Armfield UHT unit such as the FT74X or FT94X it can form part of a complete miniature-scale aseptic production line.

The unit comprises a laminar flow cabinet offering a filling environment to US Federal Standard 209E Class 100 which meets microbiological safety and pharmaceutical production/filling requirements.

The unit offers a controlled clean environment and allows all the product paths to be sterilised for the filling to be controlled in a simple way.

The FT94X HTST/UHT Mini Pilot System

Armfield announce the new FT94X HTST/UHT Mini Pilot systemwhich extends the range of continuous operation scaled-down units offered by Armfield to 200 L/h (30-100 L/h standard format).
The unit combines full flexibility – plate and tubular heat exchanger options - with comprehensive instrumentation demanded of research and development equipment.

The FT94 is designed for operation as both a stand-alone unit and also for seamless integration into a full processing system with the capability of aseptic packaging of processed product.

The FT94 is powered by steam; product is pre-heated by a steam-heated water circuit to prevent heat shock. Product main heating is by steam through the heat exchanger surface. Both product pre-heat and heating temperatures are automatically controlled and set points are defined by the user. The FT94 incorporates full CIP and SIP functions.
