Rooms for Energy Technology Students

Energy technology students can book lab facilities on the Main Campus as part of their studies from Monday 25.8.2025 onwards from Peppi. Labs can also be booked using the QR codes on the doors, or booked directly from Tuudo.

Students book the facilities through the Facility reservations button on the Peppi front page. More detailed instructions for students on how to book facilities can be found here.

The DP39.1 laboratory is divided into several bookable sections, and students can book these rooms during campus opening hours for hour-long periods when the rooms are free:

R35DP39.1Höyry Höyryprosessi (Steam Process)
R35DP39.1Pumppaus Pumppausmoduuli (Pumping Module)
R35DP39.1Valmet ValmetDNA
R35DP39.1Vesi Painevesimoduuli (Pressurized Water Module)
R35DP39.1RTKO07 RTKO-DP38-07 (Tietokone) (PC)
R35DP39.1RTKO08 RTKO-DP38-08 (Tietokone) (PC)
R35DP39.1RTKO09 RTKO-DP38-09 (Tietokone) (PC)
R35DP39.1RTKO10 RTKO-DP38-10 (Tietokone) (PC)

You can find the rooms by typing R35DP39.1 in the Rooms section.

Students can also book room R35DP66A Automaatiolaboratorio OR – A-osa vesiprosessi (waterprocess) on weekdays during campus opening hours for two hour-long periods when the room is free.

Safety regulations and operating practices of the Energy Technology Laboratory

Laboratory equipment may not be used by anyone without familiarity with and understanding of these instructions.

The equipment of the Energy Technology Laboratory is such that it can lead to dangerous situations if it is misused. It can cause damage to both people and the equipment itself. To make the environment safe and comfortable, everyone should follow these simple and easy rules. Neglecting the rules and ignoring them will lead to case-specific sanctions, such as disqualification from the course.

The room has junction boxes with a voltage of 400 VAC. Do not open any enclosure that does not have the letters JB (Junction Box) in the symbol. No connections may be dismantled or any modifications made to them unless specifically specified in the work instructions or the supervisor. If such work is involved, special care must be taken to ensure that the connections are restored after the work has been completed. Each module can be de-energized by removing the plug of the module in question from the socket (16A, 3-phase).

Hot surfaces may occur in the equipment. In the event of a burn, the first aid is rinsing with cold. The nearest water points are located in the toilets on the other side of the corridor and in the chemical laboratory (emergency shower).

Before the operation

Find out for yourself how to cut off the compressed air, water and electricity in the system.

The air barriers are located behind the pressurized water module on the wall. The air enters the distribution group through a white pipe. The valve on the left opens the pressure to the pressure reservoir. It should be kept closed normally (it can be used to pressurize the pressure tank to 6 bar, which must not be done). The red-handled valve in the middle allows air to reach the manifolds. On the manifolds, the small valves on the right are module-specific closures. The left one opens the pressure for the auxiliary water module, the middle one opens the air for the pressurized water module and the rightmost one cuts off the air of the cooling water module (the module on the other side of the steam boiler).

Electric control of the solenoid valve of the compressed air manifold: if the manifold shown above does not provide air to the modules, the electric solenoid valve is closed. It can be opened by turning the switch next to the Valmet cabinet to the other position.

Water shut-offs: if you need water for the process (normally this is only needed when using the larger pump of the auxiliary water module), turn the valves to the position shown in the figure. Only the leftmost line will be opened. The valves must definitely be closed when leaving the space.

The sealing water flow is required for the larger pumping module pump before it can be started. If you use that pump, the valve LFA01AA025 should be open as in the picture.

Do not operate the hardware in any way until you have determined how that operation will affect the process. With incorrect operation, e.g. damage equipment and cause water or personal injury.

During operation

Everyone is responsible for their own actions. If someone asks you to e.g. When you open the valve, you are responsible for what happens at that time. If you don’t know in advance whether something can be done safely, don’t do it until you are aware of it.

When water is run into the sewer, it must be ensured that all the water actually goes into the sewer. This should be monitored while driving, and especially at the beginning of sewer runs, it should be checked that water does not go anywhere else.

When operating the steam module locally, protective gloves must be worn. In addition, protective goggles must be worn when blowing out and sampling.

After the operation

Make sure that all the valves you operate eventually return to the same original position.
Make sure that all the engines you operate have actually stopped when the work stops. This is not self-evident if changes have been made to the firmware software. Even putting logic to a stop does not necessarily stop a running pump. So make sure by watching and listening that the engines have actually stopped.
When you finish working, make sure that the valves on the wall are closed (water and air are turned off). The electricity must always be on during the process.
Make sure that the workstation remains in a tidy condition. Of course, all the items you use will be returned to their original places.
When you leave the room, turn off the lights last.

I have read and understood the above instructions. By making a reservation I confirm that I follow these rules and instructions.
