1. TCMC. Unit:

Computer Controlled unit for determination of thermal conductivity of building materials and other insulating materials. Specimens are placed between a heated plate and a water cooled plate, maximum specimen thicknesses of 75mm,
maximum hot plate temperature 70º C.  etallic structure.

Measurement of thermal conductivity for materials with thermal resistance in the range 0.1 to 1.4 m² K/W. Suitable for sheet, fibrous, granular and cellular materials. Suitable for soft, rigid, and semi-rigid materials. Suitable for homogeneous and non-homogeneous materials. Thermally insulated enclosure. PID controlled (hot) plate electrical heater. Water cooled cold plate and heat flux meter. Loading/lifting handwheel and screw. Optical switch under the cold plate senses the compression of loading springs to ensure that a consistent pressure is applied to the specimen. Heat flux sensor, flitted to cold plate. Temperature sensors, located in different points of the unit, for the cooling water, for surface temperature, etc. A set of specimens, 8 pieces.

2. TCMC/CIB.Control Interface Box:

With process diagram in the front panel. The unit control elements are permanently computer controlled. Simultaneous visualization in the computer of all parameters involved in the process. Calibration of all sensors involved in the process. Real time curves representation. All the actuators’ values can be changed at any time from the keyboard. Shield and filtered signals to avoid external interferences. Real time PID control with flexibility of modifications from the computer keyboard of the PID parameters, at any moment during the process. Open control allowing modifications, at any moment and in real time, of parameters involved in the process. 3 safety levels: mechanical in the unit, electronic in the control interface, and the third one in the control software.

3. DAB. Data Acquisition Board:

PCI Express Data acquisition National Instruments board to be placed in a computer slot. 16 Analog inputs. Sampling rate up to: 250 KS/s. 2 Analog outputs. 24 Digital Inputs/Outputs.

4. TCMC/CCSOF. PID Computer Control+Data Acquisition+Data Management Software:

Flexible, open and multicontrol software. Management, processing, comparison and storage of data. Sampling velocity up to 250 KS/s (kilo samples per second). It allows the registration of the alarms state and the graphic representation in real time.

5. Cables and Accessories, for normal operation.

6. Manuals:  This unit is supplied with 8 manuals.
