RSESC Computergesteuerte Regensimulationsanlage

The Computer Controlled Rainfall Simulator for Soil Erosion Studies, "RSESC", consists of a metal frame that can be placed directly on the ground for direct studies or used with its different accessories for laboratory tests.

The entire frame is covered with a transparent curtain to prevent splashing.

The upper part supports the rain sprayer device which consists of a spray nozzle adjustable by means of a horizontal rotating disk controlled by a variable speed motor allowing to obtain variations in the intensities of the induced precipitation.

A water storage tank with a level switch is included from which a computer controlled pump and a regulating valve drive the water to the rain sprayer.

The water is metered through a flow sensor.

Depending on the opening of the rotating disk a certain amount of incoming water will be sprayed and the rest is recirculated back to the tank.

Different accessories such as rain gauges, different test plots, tilting stand, etc. are included.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
