Computerized ICE Plant Trainer (Product Code: SLE/MCE/87) is a vapour-compression refrigeration trainer used to demonstrate ice making and measure refrigeration performance in refrigeration and air-conditioning laboratories. Engineering colleges and technical institutes use it for its hermetically sealed Kirloskar-make compressor, stainless steel tank and evaporator, and two pressure plus six temperature transmitters. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), a laboratory equipment supplier in Ambala, India.

The trainer runs a complete vapour-compression cycle: the hermetic compressor raises the refrigerant pressure, the air-cooled condenser rejects heat, the capillary tube drops the pressure, and the stainless steel evaporator absorbs heat from the water in the tank until it freezes. Students record the two pressures and six temperatures, plus energy use from the energy meter, to draw the cycle on a pressure–enthalpy chart and work out refrigeration effect and coefficient of performance.
Timing how long a known quantity of water takes to freeze gives a practical measure of ice-making capacity to compare with the calculated values. Allow the time delay circuit to complete before restarting the compressor after a stop, and keep the condenser and its fan free of dust so readings stay stable from session to session.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer from Ambala, Haryana, to engineering colleges, polytechnics, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Because the trainer is built around a Kirloskar-make hermetic compressor, please confirm compressor details and current model availability with us when you enquire.

What compressor does the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer use?
The Computerized ICE Plant Trainer uses a hermetically sealed compressor of Kirloskar make, with overload and over-current protectors and a time delay circuit, paired with an air-cooled condenser and a capillary-tube expansion device.
What does the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer measure?
The Computerized ICE Plant Trainer has two pressure transmitters, six temperature transmitters and an energy meter, giving the data needed to plot the refrigeration cycle and calculate the coefficient of performance.
What are the tank and evaporator of the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer made of?
On the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer, the inner tank is fabricated from stainless steel and the evaporator is also stainless steel, insulated with ceramic wool/PUF to limit heat gain from the surroundings.
What size and power supply does the Computerized ICE Plant Trainer need?
The Computerized ICE Plant Trainer measures about 1400 × 800 × 1200 mm, weighs about 165 kg and runs on a 230 V single-phase supply at 50 Hz or 60 Hz.
