INTRODUCTION
Hydraulics is the branch of science that deals with the mechanical properties of fluids, and Fluid Mechanics provides the foundation for
hydraulics.
With LIFLUBA (Basic Fluids Mechanics Integrated Laboratory), EDIBON tries to give answer to the academic demand for teaching and learning
the basics of Fluids Mechanics, in an easy and practical way. With the LIFLUBA modules series, students accomplish experiments that clearly show
them the laws of Hydraulics, and they acquire a valuable experience in the use of hydraulics instrumentation and tools, in a natural, pleasant and
uncomplicated way.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EDIBON presents a flexible and modular-based system for learning Basic Fluid Mechanics.
Any desired configuration can be chosen (see next page), according to the working mode, areas of study and numbers of working posts.
Being a modular and open system, it is very economical and may be enlarged depending on required needs; all previously acquired systems are
fully compatible and valid.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Falling Sphere Viscosimeter and Drag Coefficient Unit (HVB) is used to determine dynamic or kinematic viscosities of fluids and the relationship
between the drag coefficients of falling particles and their Reynolds number value. As a material property, viscosity is extremely important for
technical applications.
The unit consists of two precision transparent tubes fixed onto a frame in which a ball is allowed to drop down through different liquids. Both tubes
can be filled with liquids of different viscosity. Thus, it is possible to compare the both liquids directly.
The unit is illuminated from behind with two fluorescent lamps to facilitate the visualization of the falling of the balls.
The ball is guided down by a guide to aid the introduction of particles at the top of the tubes with the minimum disturbance to the liquid. The unit
includes several guides to facilitate the introduction of smaller balls.
During the exercises, students shall measure the falling rate of the balls by timing their passage between two marks on the walls of the tube.
Balls can be removed from the bottom of the tubes through two valves. Thus, the ball can be removed from the tube without a large loss of liquid.
Kinematic viscosity can be deduced by measuring the falling speed of a ball in a vertical tube filled with the fluid under study. During the uniform
rectilinear motion phase, the forces which apply to the sphere, the gravity, the pressure of Archimedes and the force of the trail related to viscous
friction are in balance.
The design of the unit is such that it is suitable both for practical trainee experiments in the fields of physics or engineering and for demonstration in
the classroom.
The unit is supplied with a set of balls of different size, a stopwatch and two beakers.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The knowledge of pressure losses occurring in pipes as well as in different hydraulic accessories is very important in the design and
dimensioning of pipes systems.
The Computer Controlled Fluid Friction in Pipes Unit with Hydraulics Bench AFTC is designed to determine the friction coefficient in pipes
of several diameters and roughness, to study the pressure losses in different types of valves and different fittings and to compare different
methods to measure the flow.
The unit contains five straight pipe sections made of different materials and with different diameters and roughness. Additionally, a wide
range of accessories are included for the study of losses in straight pipes, several types of valves (gate, ball, angle seat, etc.), pipe fittings
(in-line strainer, elbows, sudden widening, contraction, etc.).
The different pipe sections, valves and pipe fittings include several pressure measurement points with quick action connections to fit the
tubing that is connected to the corresponding pressure measuring device.
With this unit friction pressure losses can be investigated over a wide range of Reynolds numbers, thereby covering the laminar, transitional
and turbulent flow regimes. Two water manometric tubes and two displacement sensors allow to study the pressure losses in the laminar
regimen. Two pressure sensors allow to obtain the pressure losses in the turbulent regimen. Additionally, it includes a flow sensor to
measure and to compare measurements of flow with the Venturi tube and the Pitot tube.
The unit includes the Hydraulics Bench (FME00), which incorporates a sump tank and a centrifugal pump to make water flow in a close
circuit and to supply it to the AFTC unit.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a
Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for
controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Computer Controlled Multi-pump Testing Bench (PBOC) allows the students to study the operating characteristics of several types of
pumps. This unit allows to control and to measure the most representative parameters of the pumps. The measurements that can be
taken using the unit are: admission and discharge pressure of the pump, impelled water flow, torque and turning speed of the pump and
it can determine the manometric height, the hydraulic and mechanic power and the efficiency.
The unit is mounted on a structure with a working surface covered by a plastic sheet. Two different parts can be distinguished in the unit:
the pumps, with their motors, connections and flexible hoses and the tanks to store and recycle water, with their measuring elements.
The minimum supply includes four types of pumps: one centrifugal pump, one axial flow pump, one gear pump and one peripheral
pump. There are several optional pumps (not included in the minimum supply) that can be connected to the unit through valves and
flexible hoses in order to demonstrate the operating behaviour of these pumps.
Each pump is activated by a separate motor that allows the direct measurement of the torque. The speed is changed by a frequency
converter, located in the control interface box, and computer controlled.
The pump under study impels water in a closed circuit. There are two pressure tappings in each pump, one at the admission and other at
the discharge of the pump, to determine the manometric head of the different pumps. These tappings are connected to their
corresponding pressure sensor.
The pumps included in the minimum supply are connected through flexible hoses to the volumetric tank and to the storage tank. The
connection of the optional pumps to the volumetric tank and the storage tank are done through valves, connections and flexible hoses.
The unit includes two tanks, located at different levels, to recycle the water. The upper volumetric tank, located just over the water storage
tank, is equipped with two weirs and two stilling baffles and includes a discharge valve and an activator.
The volumetric tank has been designed to accommodate low or high flows and it includes a level sensor to determine the water flow and
the water level in the volumetric tank, an indicating transparent tube and a graduated scale. It has a safety overflow system that directly
pours water into the storage tank if an incorrect use is made. The storage tank includes an indicating transparent tube.
This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a
Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control and Data Acquisition Software Packages, for controlling the

SOME TYPICAL RESULTS
Axial pump
Data representation of the axial pump after making an experiment. Height pumped, mechanic power and efficiency are shown in the graphs, for different
pump speeds. As it is expected, axial pumps are not able to pump water reaching big heights.
Gear pump
Data representation of the gear pump after making an experiment. Discharge pressure, height and efficiency are shown in the graphs, for different pump
speeds. As we can see, when outlet valve is closing, discharge pressure and height increase in a linear way. The gear pump gives high discharge pressure
values, as it was expected.

Some typical results
Centrifugal pump
Data representation of the centrifugal pump after making an experiment. Discharge pressure, height and efficiency are shown in the graphs, for different pump
speeds. As we can see, a typical pump map is obtained, reaching the higher pressure given by the pump. With flows similar to axial, centrifugal is able to give a
higher pressure than axial.
Peripherical pump
Data representation of the peripherical pump after making an experiment. Discharge pressure, height and efficiency are shown in the graphs, for different pump
speeds. As we can see, a typical pump map is obtained, reaching the higher pressure given by the pump. Although it can pump water to higher heights than the
centrifugal one, it is not able to move flows as bigger as the centrifugal does.

INTRODUCTION
Pneumatics is the technology that employs air to operate all types of machines and devices. It is one of the technologies most widely used
for industrial automation due to the advantages a work environment working with pneumatics provides.
The Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic Training System, "AE-PLCA-NS", has been designed to obtain the necessary knowledge to understand
the operation of the most common elements used in pneumatics and electro-pneumatics.
The "AE-PLCA-NS" includes a set of practical exercises through which the students will understand how to work with the most common
elements used in a pneumatic and electro-pneumatic system.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Pneumatic and Electro-Pneumatic Training System, "AE-PLCA-NS", is a modular unit composed by a double-post bench with a panel
where the components that form the pneumatic circuit under study are attached.
The compressor is inside the station. It will supply compressed air to the different pneumatic circuits. The station includes drawers as well,
to keep all the elements after each practical exercise.
The "AE-PLCA-NS" is provided with all the elements required for the assembly and operation of the circuits proposed in the practical
exercises, such as the compressor, push in fittings, flexible tubing, filters, safety valves, etc.

INTRODUCTION
Hydraulics is the technology that employs fluids to operate all types of machines. Hydraulics is widely used in applications in which large
forces must be exerted on the load. For that purpose, this technology is based on the properties of the liquids for energy transfer.
The AE-PLCA-HD, Hydraulics and Electro-hydraulics Trainer, has been designed to obtain the necessary knowledge to understand the
operation of the most common elements used in hydraulics and electro-hydraulics.
The AE-PLCA-HD includes a set of practical exercises through which the students will understand how to work with the most common
elements used in a hydraulic and electro-hydraulic system.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AE-PLCA-HD is a modular unit composed by a double-post bench with a panel where the components that form the hydraulic circuit
under study are attached. The pump is inside the station. It will increase the pressure of the hydraulic liquid of the different hydraulic circuits
employed. The station includes drawers as well, to keep all the elements after each practical exercise.
The AE-PLCA-HD is provided with all the elements required for the assembly and operation of the circuits proposed in the practical
exercises, such as the hydraulic pump, push in fittings, filters, safety valves, etc.
The AE-PLCA-HD, designed by EDIBON, allows the user to learn about the basic concepts of hydraulic technology (operation, elements
of a hydraulic circuit, standardized symbols, etc.) without any previous knowledge or experience.
