Powerful data logging software with automatic or manual sampling.

The data is stored in spreadsheet format which also contains any calculated values. The software includes powerful graph plotting tools allowing the user numerous display options, including dual y axes, points or lines, etc.

Some products are not suitable for automatic data logging, and require the results to be recorded manually from primary instrumentation such as manometers or thermometers.

This package has all the data logging and general features of the 90 and 301 packages, but also includes computer control. A mimic diagram is used where set points and output values can be specified, PID loops can be tuned, and on-off switches can be controlled.

For these products the 301 software offers all the functions of the 304 apart from the data sampling.

• Integrated courseware • USB connectivity • Real-time update of graphs • Data export to MS™ Excel • Multiple runs displayed on graphs

• Computer control • Graphical representation of equipment • Extended in-context help during experiments • Common user interface • Manual data entry when needed

In many cases, the latest software and interface systems are also available as updates to existing equipment.

Hydraulic Ram - F1-24

Cavitation Demonstration - F1-28

This equipment is designed to produce and measure the characteristics of free and forced vortices.

If flowing water is suddenly brought to rest in a long pipe, a phenomenon known as water hammer occurs, wherein a pressure wave travels along the pipe. This principle is used in the hydraulic ram to pump water.

The Armfield Cavitation Demonstration apparatus demonstrates to students visually, audibly and numerically the phenomenon of Cavitation and its association with the Vapour Pressure of a liquid.

The Armfield FM CAPTURE range is a unique range of small-scale teaching equipment, designed to give students an unparalleled insight into the principles of these machines.

With the introduction of CAPTURE, machines that were once costly, cumbersome and difficult to use became affordable, space-saving and easy to use. Now CAPTURE MKII takes the concept forward into new realms of student understanding, adding superb visibility of the working of the machines and taking full advantage of the latest software and instrumentation techniques.

The FM CAPTURE range comprises: Fans & Compressors Page 13 Pumps Page 14 Turbines Page 15

All the CAPTURE units use standard PCs to display, record and manipulate the data. The world-beating Armfield educational software provides extensive facilities aimed specifically at engineering education and enhancing the learning experience. A common software format is used across all machines. Similarly the machines all use a common interface unit, thus providing a cost-effective solution for laboratories requiring several machines.

Interface unit - IFD7

The interface between the Capture MKII units and the userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s computer is provided by the Armfield IFD7 Interface Unit. This conditions the raw data from the sensors, digitises the data and transfers it to the computer using the USB interface. It also includes a sophisticated 3 phase inverter for providing accurate motor speed control, and a second motor drive output, all under software control.

Axial Fan Demonstration Unit - FM41 The axial fan produces gas flow by virtue of the momentum changes imparted across the rotary blades, parallel to the axis of rotation. Such fans are more suitable for higher flows at lower delivery pressures than their centrifugal counterparts.

Centrifugal pumps are often used together to enhance either the flow rate or the delivery pressure beyond that available from the single pump.

The gear pump is the most widely used of the positive action rotary pumps. Two gear wheels operate inside a casing; one is driven whilst the other rotates in mesh with it. The liquid is carried around in the space between consecutive teeth and then ejected as the teeth mesh.

The pump has no valves. It is a positive displacement pump and will deliver against high pressures. The output is a more even flow than that of a reciprocating pump. It is particularly suitable for high viscosity fluids.

Plunger Pump Demonstration Unit - FM53 The plunger or ram pump is a positive displacement pump and is used for pumping small quantities of liquid at high pressures. It is similar to a piston pump except that the sealing gland is at one end of the cylinder.

The reciprocating motion of the plunger gives an uneven flow, although the inclusion of a damping vessel can reduce this effect. Priming is unnecessary. view full details online: www.armfield.co.uk/fm53

The Armfield HT30XC Computer Controlled Heat Exchanger Module has played an important part in the development of computer controlled experiments over the internet described in a paper* published in the USA journal, Chemical Engineering Education and involving Cambridge (England) students use of equipment in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

This bench-top computer controlled service unit allows the operation of the Armfield range of small scale heat exchanger systems. It provides controlled cold water flow, bi-directional hot water flow and the instrumentation required to do a series of in-depth investigations into heat exchanger performance. The individual heat exchangers can be quickly changed over, to allow comparisons between different types of heat exchanger to be made. The HT30XC requires a personal computer with USB for the operator interface.

Educational software is provided for all Armfield heat exchangers. Included are drivers to allow other software applications to communicate with the HT30XC via the USB interface. Users can write their own software typically in LabView, MatLab, ‘C’, ‘C++’, Visual Basic, and Delphi, among others.

Users can thus write software to remotely control the equipment, for example, over a Local Area Network (LAN) or even over the internet. The HT30XC is ideal for this as it has been designed to shut down safely in the event of a communications failure. Once the heat exchanger has been installed and configured, the student does not need to be present with the equipment. view full details online: www.armfield.co.uk/ht30xc

Internal Combustion Engines

Armfield’s range of internal combustion engines encompasses automotive and aviation power units, each one mounted on a small test bed and providing a complete engine learning system.

Each system comes with our own advanced ArmSoft™ software which can be used to run the engine from a personal computer. The software incorporates the full range of facilities as outlined in the ArmSoft™ software section, P2-3.

Axial Flow Gas TurbinE - CM14 The CM14 is a complete, aeronautical axial flow gas turbine engine with full instrumentation and sensors measuring the gas temperature and pressure at different stages within the engine, together with the thrust generated and the fuel consumption.

It features simple electric starting with no requirement for compressed air.

The turbine itself can be bench-mounted and incorporates a transparent safety guard for full visibility. The small size minimises the laboratory space required. The control box can be located in an adjacent room if required.

The Essentials of Process Control (EPC) range of products takes students through the fundamentals and principles of process control, and progresses to give them a thorough grounding in the control of physical processes. Four independent process units demonstrate level, flow, temperature and pressure as the controlled variable.

The concepts of closed loop control, including on/off control, proportional control, proportional/integral and proportional/ integral/derivative (PID) control can be explored and demonstrated. Some units also cover both time proportioning and analogue control of the same parameter. To demonstrate industrial control systems, two further controlling devices are available, a full function commercial PID controller with autotune, and a programmable logic controller (PLC).
