TD1050 Steam Engine and Energy Conversion Experiment Device
Steam engine and energy conversion experimental device
You will learn about heat energy conversion and power measurement using a boiler and steam engine, as well as the basic principles of thermodynamics. Water pumped from the storage tank by the feedwater pump is superheated in the boiler and becomes steam, which drives a two-cylinder steam engine. The steam exiting the engine passes through a water-cooled condenser and enters a drainage tank or steam measurement container. A manually operated load device connected to the steam engine measures the engine's rotational speed, torque, and output, while thermocouples measure the temperature inside the boiler, the temperature of the throttling calorimeter, and the inlet and outlet temperatures of the cooling water for the condenser, displaying the results digitally. The throttling calorimeter measures the dryness of the steam based on the heat quantity. Two analog gauges display the inlet pressure of the boiler and engine, and an electric meter shows the heater power. The analysis of the Rankine cycle and verification of steam plant performance, including the Mollier diagram, clarify the relationship between pressure and temperature through boiler experiments with saturated steam. For safety, when the water level in the boiler drops and the heater overheats, the heater automatically stops, and a lamp lights up. Additionally, the boiler's safety valve limits the pressure.
