Anemometer |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the wind speed and these readings
will be helpful in calculating the
losses in solar water and air heating
systems. |
Digital
PH meter |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the PH value of the water and other
fluids that we use in the experimental
setup. |
Digital
Infrared Thermometer
( 500C – 30000C ) |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the temperature by shooting the
infrared rays on to the surface
for which the temperature has to
be measured. |
| Handheld
PH / Conductivity meter |
This
instrument is used for measuring
both the PH and thermal conductivity
of water and other fluids that we
use in experimentation |
Infrared
Thermometer with Timer
( -200C – 5000C) |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the temperature both in manual controlled
environment and also automatic controlled
environment by setting the recording
time |
Pyranometer |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the Beam, Diffused, and Global components
of radiation that is connected to
a multimeter and these values are
collected in millivolts and can
be converted into W/m2 directly
through formulae. These readings
are useful in the efficiency computations
of Flat Plate Collector, Concentrating
collector. |
|
Sunshine
Recorder |
This
instrument is used for measuring
the day length and this value is
used for computation of Daily Global
radiation that is falling on a surface. |
|
This
instrument is used for determining
the direction in which the wind
is blowing and this is connected
to a generator that is coupled to
a motor which pumps water for the
department uses for 24 hours. |
|
This
setup is used for heating the water.
Heating is done by concentration
of the incident solar flux on to
an axis of aparaboloidal shaped
aluminum sheet. This setup stands
as an example for forced convection
heating of water |
|
This
setup is to demonstrate how the
cooling of electronic equipment
can be done by the use of fins which
reject heat into the atmosphere
effectively. |
|
This
setup is to demonstrate how the
heat transfer takes place along
the conical surface and this can
be extended to rotation of the cone. |
|
This
setup is used for heating the water
and circulating naturally through
the circuit. In the air heating
the air is circulated naturally
by gaining the heat from the sun. |
PV
water pumping system |
This
setup is used to charge the battery
or to produce the power required
to run the motor that pumps the
water from depths. |
|
This
setup is used to charge the battery
that lightens the indoor lamps of
particular wattage |
|
This
setup is used to boil the water
that is taken in the bowls provided
for experimentation. This setup
is provided with a booster mirror
arrangement, which reflects the
radiation on to the surface, coated
black |
|
This
setup is used to constantly remove
the water vapour from the vegetables
or fruits and dry them uniformly
by means of a fan powered by a PV
panel |
Weather
Station (Rainwise corporation, USA) |
This
setup is used to determine the wind
speed direction in which wind is
blowing, the amount of rainfall,
the amount of radiation falling
and can monitor the whole day variation
in different parameters |
