Environmental Applications Learning System – T7083

Request Information

The model T7083 Environmental Applications Learning System adds to the T7082 Thermal Learning System to teach heating and cooling applications. Students will learn industry-relevant skills including how to size, select, and analyze thermal systems to optimize performance.

The T7083 is a working system that connects to the T7082 System to provide a functional thermal application of air conditioning and heat pumps. The T7083 models the characteristics of a living structure with outside environmental effects, such as sun or humidity, and internal design characteristics such as insulation, lighting, and ceiling fans.

The T7083 consists of a living structure with reversible ducting system, comfort controls, instrumentation, environmental input devices, insulation system, student learning materials for both theory and lab, and teacher’s guide.

Variable Environmental Conditions – The T7083 replicates a variety of real world environmental conditions with devices that simulate effects caused by the sun, humidity, and lighting.

Variable Thermal Design Characteristics – The T7083 demonstrates the effects of a structure’s design with removable insulation panels to vary insulation performance, ceiling fan, window that can be opened, attic fan, attic exhaust, and reversible upper and lower ducts.

Instrumentation Features – The T7083 includes many instrumentation features to observe and monitor system operation. Digital thermometers are placed at key locations in the structure to show how temperature can vary inside a living space. A digital humidity sensor is also included to determine the level of comfort.
