    Compressor Micro Simulator



    Hello everyone,

    I have a local college asking me to build a simulator out of a Quantum LX. Has anyone done this before? I have some ideas but would appreciate some feedback. I was thinking about using rotary potentiometers in place of all pressure and temperature transducers so they can change conditions easily, cause failures and play with calibrations. What do you think?

    What is a Quantum LX?
    It's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt.

    It is just a micro though. Any thoughts about a simulator?

    I went to an FES training class and their simulators used rotary potentiometers to change the temperature and pressure values! Sounds like fun project! Good luck!
