Abstract
This paper presents theoretical aspects, practical achievement and the facilities of a didactic system for the study of temperature adjustment or control in a small container – similar to a pasteurizer. The container has water inside (heated with an electric resistance), and is equipped with all the necessary elements for the filling/evacuating, pressure and temperature measurement in various points. The mathematical model is determined /presented and the results of various simulation scenarios (using Simulink) can be obtained, so that the theoretical results can be compared with the real, experimentally measured ones.
