Ice Plant Tutor

This unit consists of a hermetically sealed compressor with air cooled condenser. A capillary or expansion valves are next to condensers followed by medium temperature evaporators. Electrical energy supplied to the compressor can be measured by energy meter. The evaporator is immersed in the brine solution tank.
The apparatus is used to perform the following experiments
 To determine the coefficient of performance of unit.
 To determine the refrigerating capacity and tonnage of unit.
 Ice making capacity of unit.
