Two Stage Compressor Test Set (Product Code: SLE/EA/09) is a self-contained, mobile two-stage reciprocating air compressor test set used to investigate compressor operation and performance in single-stage, two-stage and intercooled two-stage modes in thermodynamics laboratories. As technical educational equipment it stands out because each of its two twin-cylinder compressors has its own electronic drive, load cell and speed sensor, so true shaft power is measured for each stage. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Students first run one compressor as a single-stage machine delivering straight to the receiver, then route air from the first stage directly into the second, and finally pass it through the water-cooled intercooler before the second stage. Comparing shaft power and electrical input across the three set-ups shows why staged compression with inter-cooling reduces the work needed, a central idea in compressor design.
Because the two compressor speeds are controlled independently, the stages can be matched under different conditions and the effect of speed matching on overall performance explored. Before each run, check that intercooler water is flowing when that mode is selected, confirm the diverter valves are set for the intended air path, and keep hands clear of the toothed belt drives while the motors run.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM of the Two Stage Compressor Test Set and manufactures it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Procurement teams registering the company as a vendor can use GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49.

Which operating modes does the Two Stage Compressor Test Set offer?
The Two Stage Compressor Test Set works as a single-stage compressor, a two-stage compressor, or a two-stage compressor with inter-cooling; diverter valves route the air to the receiver, directly to the second stage, or through the water-cooled intercooler.
How is shaft power measured on the Two Stage Compressor Test Set?
On the Two Stage Compressor Test Set, a close-coupled load cell on each motor measures torque and a sensor measures speed; the product of torque and speed gives true shaft power for each compressor.
What type of compressors does the Two Stage Compressor Test Set use?
The Two Stage Compressor Test Set uses two twin-cylinder, air-cooled reciprocating compressors, each driven by an electric motor through a low-maintenance toothed belt and controlled by its own electronic drive unit.
Can the two compressor speeds be set separately?
Yes. The Two Stage Compressor Test Set controls the two compressor speeds independently, which gives flexibility to match the stages under different conditions and to study how speed matching affects performance.
Who manufactures the Two Stage Compressor Test Set?
The Two Stage Compressor Test Set is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India; quotations and technical questions are answered directly by the manufacturer.
What information is needed to quote the Two Stage Compressor Test Set?
For a Two Stage Compressor Test Set quotation, share the quantity, the electrical supply available at your laboratory, cooling-water availability for the intercooler and the delivery location in India or abroad.
Is a calibration certificate available for the load cells and sensors?
Whether a calibration certificate can be provided for the load cells and speed sensors of the Two Stage Compressor Test Set should be discussed with us before ordering; list your needs on the contact page.
