Room Air Conditioner with Heat Pump System Trainer

Make: EEI, Model: RAC-06, Origin: India

Product Overview

The Room Air Conditioner with Heat Pump System is an educational training apparatus designed to demonstrate the operating principles of split air-conditioning systems in both cooling and heating modes. It is suitable for mechanical engineering colleges, ITIs, polytechnic institutes, refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) laboratories, HVAC training centres, and technical skill development institutions.

The system consists of a working split air conditioner, outdoor condensing unit, electrical instrumentation panel, pressure gauges, digital measuring instruments, and refrigerant piping connections. These components are mounted on a sturdy MS frame with caster wheels for convenient movement and laboratory demonstrations.

Working Principle

The trainer operates on the vapour compression refrigeration cycle and demonstrates both cooling and heat pump operation. In cooling mode, the indoor unit absorbs heat from the room while the outdoor unit rejects heat to the surroundings. In heating mode, the heat pump reverses the refrigerant flow, allowing the indoor unit to release heat into the room.

Students can observe changes in operating pressure, temperature, electrical power consumption, and other measurable parameters during system operation. The apparatus provides practical exposure to the operation of reversing-cycle air conditioning and heat pump technology.

Main Features

• Functional split air-conditioning system with heat pump operation.
