The unit is designed to demonstrate the effects of the instantaneous or gradual variation of the speed in a fluid. It is possible to study the hydraulic ram, which is the consequence of a quick change in a fluid speed.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), including: Control interface Box + Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control and Data Acquisition Software, for controlling the process and the parameters involved.

Constant level tank, manufactured in PVC glass, which supplies water to the circuits for making the practices.
Discharge tank, manufactured in PVC glass.
Circuits in PVC and stainless steel pipe:
There are four circuits for essays: the first one in stainless steel; the second one in PVC and with the same diameter that the previous one; the third one in PVC but with a bigger diameter; and the fourth one in PVC, interchangeable with the third one when checking the effects of abrupt expansions in pipes.
Valves to select the circuit.
3 Impact valves.
2 Pressure sensors, which can be placed in any of the 12 possible points of the four circuits.
3 Equilibrium chimneys adaptable to any of the several possible points of the system and subjection clips
EGAC/CIB. Control Interface Box :
Control interface box with process diagram in the front panel and with the same distribution that the different elements located in the unit, for an easy understanding by the student.
All sensors, with their respective signals, are properly manipulated from -10V. to +10V computer output. Sensors connectors in the interface have different pines numbers (from 2 to 16), to avoid connection errors. Single cable
between the control interface box and computer.
The unit control elements are permanently computer controlled, without necessity of changes or
connections during the whole process test procedure. Simultaneously visualization in the computer of all
parameters involved in the process. Calibration of all sensors involved in the process.
Real time curves representation about system responses. Storage of all the process data and results in a file. Graphic representation, in real time, of all the process/system responses.
All the actuators’ values can be changed at any time from the keyboard allowing the analysis about curves and responses of the whole process. All the actuators and sensors values and their responses are placed in only one computer screen.
Shield and filtered signals to avoid external interferences.
Real time computer control with flexibility of modifications from the computer keyboard of the
parameters, at any moment during the process. Real time computer control for pumps, compressors, resistances, control valves, etc. Open control allowing modifications, at any time and in a real time , of parameters involved in the process simultaneously.
Three safety levels, one mechanical in the unit, other electronic in control interface and the third one in the control software.
