Features:
Self-contained unit designed for practical demonstration and visualization of fluid flow study.
The tank is manufactured Fiber-reinforced plastic or Stainless Steel and all components in contact with water are of non-corroding materials.
Unit  supplied  with  a  number  of  models  permitting  a  wide  range  of experimentation.
Tesca Mobile Bed & Flow Visualization Demonstrator consists of a tank made in three sections; inlet tank, working section, and the discharge tank. Each section has a flange on either side to join with the remaining sections. The inlet tank has a slitting baffle to stabilize the flow of water. A rail has been fixed on top of the tank & extends throughout the length of the tank to carry measuring instruments. A hook gauge is provided to measure the depth of the water as if it
flows through the tank. Water is supplied to the tank from a sump tank by a centrifugal pump. A control valve is used to regulate the water flow rate. A flow meter is used to measure the water flow rate.
Detailed Operation & Maintenance Manual is provided along with the trainer.
