ET 432 Piston compressor in refrigeration
ET 432 Piston compressor in refrigeration
The GUNT ET 432 provides hands-on training on the function and behavior of a piston compressor in refrigeration technology. It enables users to analyze performance parameters, pressure conditions, and energy efficiency. The unit simulates real-world cooling applications and allows students and professionals to study the thermodynamic processes involved in compression refrigeration. Designed for technical education and industrial training, it offers precise measurement and visualization of the refrigeration cycle in action.
More about the productGUNT ET 432
Designed for piston compressors typically used in refrigeration systems.
It features an open process with air and operates with a typical two-cylinder compressor.
The experimental plant is controlled via a PLC with touch screen operation.
Screen mirroring allows the user interface to be displayed on up to 10 end devices.
The drive motor uses an asynchronous motor with a frequency converter for speed adjustment.
Both inlet and outlet pressures (pressure ratio) are adjustable via valves.
The system includes a flow meter, as well as sensors for pressure, temperature, speed, and torque (measured via force).
Data acquisition is handled by the PLC and stored on internal USB memory, with access to the stored data via WLAN/LAN.
The system can be connected to a customer’s own network or directly via LAN.
