Abstract: In order to test new type self-propelled Gun's power generate and supply system, based on modular structure and distributed control design method, using variable frequency control and dual-model control technique, the laboratory equipment was designed according to the technical requirements. Firstly, the structure of the laboratory equipment was build. Based on design of hybrid multimode synchronous teeth belt transmission, programmable load unit, programmable power source and data fusion operator, main composition of the laboratory equipment are developed. Distributed control is used to ensure the laboratory equipment work orderly. To improve ability of anti-electromagnetic interference, three methods are used. Practically use, the synthetically laboratory equipment is proved to being high stability, strong comprehensiveness, good generality.

Abstract: The dehydration of the products of vegetable origin is a complex technological process, involving heat and mass transfer, which is largely affected by the nature and characteristics of the fruits, but also by the technical performances of the equipment. Experimental laboratory tests must be performed in order to evaluate the effect and importance of these parameters, using equipments which are able to reproduce the technological dehydration process. In order to achieve these goals a specialized test rig was designed and built. The laboratory test rig allows different dehydration experiments to be carried out; all the parameters that affect the dehydration process - temperature, speed and humidity of the drying agent before and after the mass and heat transfer takes place, the weight and temperature of the dehydrated product, the direction of the drying agent etc. - are continuously monitored. The continuous monitoring of the working parameters is performed by the means of a specialized industrial computer, which allows the data aquision and transfer to a PC. The paper presents the details regarding the design and working process of the laboratory test rig, as well as the experimental results concerning the dehydration of plums and apricots. The results show that the dehydration process is affected by the temperature and speed of the drying agent, by the size of the particles and by the thickness of product layer.
