This equipment enables to calculate the energy losses on some elements of a hydraulic circuit such as bends, sudden
contractions and enlargements, control valves, etc… The available elements for the study of energy losses are:
− 90° elbow
− short bend
− large bend
− sudden contraction
− sudden enlargement
− joint
Each element has two pressure tapping points which are connected with a differential pressure gauge manometer of 12 tubes thus enabling to measure the head loss. Another element of this equipment is a valve equipped with a pressure tapping connected with a manometer.
TRAINING PROGRAM:
• Measuring the energy losses in the different elements varying the flow rate and calculating the respective coefficients
• Comparing the energy losses across each element
