SOLTEQ®

MODEL: FM 21

AIR FLOW TRAINING UNIT

HIS Air Flow Training Unit (Model: FM 21) has been designed to demonstrate to students the principles

of compressible fluid flow. The unit comes with a motor driven centrifugal fan and various interchangeable

test sets such as multitube manometer test set, venturi, orifice and pitot tube test set, Bernoulli’s theorem

test set, flow around a bend test set, pressure losses in pipes test set, jet dispersion test set and boundary layer

growth test set. The air flow rate through the duct is adjustable rate through the duct.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES

♦ Characteristics of fan

♦ Flow rate measurements using venturi and orifice

♦ Bernoulli’s theorem demonstrations

♦ Flow around a bend

♦ Pressure losses in pipes test set

♦ Jet dispersion measurements

♦ Determination of boundary layer growth

♦ Smoke Generation

SPECIFICATIONS

The unit consists of epoxy coated steel frame

constructed on castors, comes with centrifugal fan and

necessary control panel. Various test sets are supplied

with the unit for students to run experiments on the

principles of compressible fluid flow.
