Description

This apparatus permits the simple or detailed
study of the benefits of using house insulation to
reduce energy consumption.
A thermostatically controlled hot plate is provided
with provision for monitoring the input power to
the electric heaters. Temperatures in the range 25
to 600C can be used.
6 felt pads are supplied so that the effect of
increasing insulation thickness can be investigated
together with an air cell double glazing panel.
Observations involve timing the on/off periods
for the heater. Provision is made for data-logger
monitoring of all variables but a simple stopwatch
is sufficient if required. Connections by standard
4mm leads.
Requires a 12V d.c. 3A smoothed or regulated
power supply.
Probe not included.
