HT 31 HEAT EXCHANGER SERVICE UNIT

Description

This experimental unit can be used to investigate and compare different heat exchanger designs. The complete experimental setup consists of two main elements service and control unit and choice of heat exchanger: Tubular heat exchanger, plate heat exchanger, shell and tube heat exchanger and jacketed vessel with stirrer and coil. Water is used as the medium.

The heat exchanger to be investigated is connected to the service unit. The hot water flows through the heat exchanger. Reversing the water connections changes the direction of flow and thus allows parallel flow or counter flow operation.

The main function of the service unit is to provide the required cold and hot water circuits. The service unit is equipped with a heated tank and pump for the hot water circuit, connections for the cold water circuit and a switch cabinet with displays and controls. A temperature controller controls the hot water temperature. The flow in the hot water and cold water circuit is adjusted using valves. The cold water circuit can be fed from the laboratory mains. The measured values can be read on digital displays. At the same time, the measured values can also be transmitted directly to a PC. The data acquisition software is included. (Optional)
