HT 31B SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

Description

The shell and tube heat exchanger consists of seven tubes, surrounded by a transparent outer shell. The hot water flows through the tube bundle and the cold water through the space in the shell.

Baffle plates are used to deflect the flow in the shell in such a way as to create greater turbulence and thus a more intensive transfer of heat. The media flows continuously in a cross flow. Valves are used to adjust the flow of hot and cold water. The supply hose can be reconnected using quick release couplings, allowing the flow direction to be reversed. This allows parallel flow and counter flow operation.

During experiments, temperature curves are plotted and displayed graphically. Additionally, the measured values can be recorded and processed using data acquisition software. The mean heat transfer coefficient is then calculated as a characteristic variable.

The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments
