Features:
Tesca Air-Compressor Test Apparatus consists of a reciprocating air compressor driven by an electric motor. The compressor is two stage compressor with intercooler. Intake air flow rate is measured by using an air box with orifice plate & differential manometer. Pressure gauges are provided to measure pressure after 1st stage, 2nd stage & tank pressure. Temperature sensors are used to measure the air temperature at Inlet, after 1st Stage, Intercooler & 2nd stage. Compressor Speed & Power Consumption are displayed on panel meters mounted at the front.
In order to study compressor performance at different speeds Variable Speed Motor with VFD can also be supplied optionally.
