Proposta de modernização com a implantação de um sistema de aquisição e supervisão de dados do Laboratório Hidromecânico Didático Científico (LHDC) da UNIFEI

Abstract

The Scientific Didactic Hydromechanical Laboratory (in Portuguese LHDC) is a multifunctional laboratory where different types of experiments can be carried out, such as pump tests, field of operation and reception of turbines tests, among others. Once the actual instrumentation of the Lab is analogic, this work was motivated with the proposal of modernizing the Scientific Didactic Hydromechanical Laboratory and developing a program for supervision and acquisition of digital data. As part of the modernization, is proposed the use of the LabView software, which will work in parallel to measurements taken analogically. The study was performed aiming the permanent implementation of electronic sensors that will make possible digital data collection of different measures, as pressures, flows, levels, temperatures, speeds, rotations, positions, electrical powers, as well as a study for the implementation of equipment to drive and operate equipment such as pump and valves. With the development of the computer program and the modernization of the LHDC, it will be possible to speed-up tests, reduce the time of experiments and provide more accurate and reliable data, as well as the implementation of a series of possible tests in scientific research and extension projects.
