General Description
With the Ovens Test Module, "BS5", is possible to study temperature measurement techniques using several kinds of sensors placed inside the sealed place that is used as oven.
This module is basically made up of an oven that contains a changeable speed circular fan that enables to modify the oven time constant.
The heating element that the oven has can be manually controlled or work through a triac which can be regulated with a PID.
The measurement mechanisms the oven has are 4 identical thermocouples placed at different heights. The oven also has a platinum resistance thermometer, a thermistor and a semiconducting mechanism sensitive to temperature. Using any temperature gauge or thermometer it is possible to calibrate the different sensors by introducing the thermometer through the opening the oven has at its upper part.
Included elements:
- Oven chamber.
- Heating element.
- Fan.
- Thermocouples.
- Platinum resistance thermometer.
- Thermistor.
- Semiconducting temperature sensor.
Exercises and guided practices
GUIDED PRACTICAL EXERCISES INCLUDED IN THE MANUAL
