SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

MODEL: HE 668

HIS Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger (Model: HE 668) consists of a double pass mild steel heat exchanger
with cold and hot water circulation systems. Instrumentations for heat exchanger studies are provided for
students to collect flow, pressure and temperature data. Students shall be able to plot graphs, calculate
heat transfer coefficients, heat exchanger efficiencies, log mean temperature difference, dynamic responses for
flow and temperature control studies.

Hot Water Circuit

A stainless steel hot water tank heated by a suitably
sized electric heater serves as the hot water source.
A centrifugal pump circulates the hot water through the
circuit. A flow meter measures the hot water flowrate
while temperature sensors are provided at both inlet
and outlet. All process pipings are of stainless steel
and appropriate insulation is applied to minimize heat
loss and for safety purpose.

Cold Water Circuit

A stainless steel cold water tank acts as the cold water
source is pumped through the cold water circuit by a
centrifugal pump. The cold water can either go straight
to the drain or recirculate through an optional air cooled
heat exchanger. A flow meter measures the cold water
flowrate while inlet and outlet temperature sensors are
provided. All process pipings are of stainless steel.
