FME05 Kerugian Energi pada Belokan

The Energy Losses in Bends unit, "FME05", designed by EDIBON allows to measure and compare the head losses produced by different singular elements: bends, section changes and valves, as well as to study the influence of the flow rate on the value of such losses.

This unit can work with the Hydraulics Bench (FME00) or the Basic Hydraulic Feed System (FME00/B).

This unit consists of a hydraulic circuit with a set of elements that disrupt the normal flow of the fluid that circulates by the pipe, due to sudden section and direction variations, as well as friction.

These elements are:

• Two 90° elbows, a short one and a middle one.
• 90° curve or long elbow.
• Broadening.
• Sudden narrowing section.
• Sudden direction change, miter type.

The unit has two manometers, Bourdon type: 0 – 2.5 bar and twelve manometric pipes of pressurized water. The system pressurization is carried out with a manual air pump.

The hydraulic circuit has pressure tappings along the whole system, which enable to measure the local load losses in the system.

This unit has two membrane valves, a valve which enables the regulation of the outlet flow, and a valve placed in series with the rest of accessories of the hydraulic circuit.
