The GUNT Comparison of Fluidised Beds Trainer demonstrates the transition of bulk layers from fixed to fluidised beds by using compressed air flow through two transparent columns of different diameters. Developed in cooperation with the University of Greenwich, this trainer allows for hands-on observation and measurement of fluidisation behavior using various particle sizes. The unit captures real-time data through USB and is operated with GUNT software. An external compressed air supply is required.
Product Features
- Two transparent columns with different diameters to observe fluidised bed formation
- Developed in collaboration with the University of Greenwich, UK
- Glass beads of varying particle sizes supplied as packing material
- Columns include scale indicators for fixed and fluidised bed height
- Solenoid valves supply compressed air to the active column; one column operates at a time
- Removable columns allow quick change of fixed bed configurations
- Fixed bed rests on a sinter plate at the base of each column
- Air velocity can be adjusted to demonstrate fixed bed, fluidisation, and transportation stages
- Air filter captures particles discharged during high-velocity operation
- Volumetric flow rate measured and controlled via two measuring ranges
- Both columns equipped with measuring points for differential pressure sensors
- Pressure loss recorded for both fixed and fluidised beds
- USB data transmission to PC for visualization and analysis
- Operated via included GUNT software
- Requires external compressed air supply
Benefits
- Visual understanding of fluidisation phenomena and particle suspension
- Precise control and measurement of air flow and pressure losses
- Data logging capability for detailed experimental analysis
- Modular design supports various particle sizes and fixed bed configurations
- Ideal for educational and research laboratories studying fluidised bed applications
