The heating module is a metal case in which heaters with samples are installed.
The control unit switches on and off the heaters, measures the power consumed by the heaters, displays the data of the crucible temperatures, and records the heating time for each of them as well.
The front panel of control unit contains:
- information data display;
- controls.
The side panel includes:
- USB interface connector;
- power cable connector;
- fuses for the power supply circuit of the unit;
- button to switch on the unit.
When the unit is turned on, the samples of material begin to heat up, and the process of changing the temperature of the samples is displayed on the screen of the control unit or on the PC screen if the PC is connected. Based on the results of the experiment, it is possible to determine the specific heat of the sample under study.
The stand is accompanied with:
- software;
- a set of teaching materials and technical documentation intended for the teaching staff.
