Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube Exchanger Thermal Lab Equipment Vocational Education Equipment

UTC-2S Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube Exchanger Thermal Lab Equipment Vocational Education Equipment

This unit consists of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and of a tank heated by an electric heater for the production of hot water pumped by a centrifugal pump. Tests can be carried out in co-current and counter-current.
Training program
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Heat transfer between fluids separated by a wall in co-current and counter-current
• Energy balance and calculation of efficiency
• Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD)
• Overall heat transfer coefficient (U)
• How flow rate and of temperature difference can affect the transfer coefficient
• Comparing the operating modes and performance of different types of heat exchangers
