HEAT EXCHANGER TRAINING APPARATUS

MODEL: HE 158C

HIS Heat Exchanger Training Apparatus (Model: HE 158C) is a bench type unit designed to allow students to get familiarised with different kinds of heat exchangers and to collect the necessary experimental data for the calculation of heat loss, heat transfer coefficient, log mean temperature difference, etc. Student will also be able to study the effect of flow rate on the heat transfer rate. Later, students may use this knowledge for designing complex industrial heat exchangers.

The HE 158C is supplied with four types of heat exchangers with two 50-L stainless steel sump tanks as the source for the hot and cold water circuit. The hot tank is fitted with a 11.5 kW immersion type heater which is protected against possible over heating. Each tank has a centrifugal pump to deliver the hot and cold water to the heat exchangers. The pumps are somehow protected from dry-run by level switch installed in each of the sump tanks. A temperature sensor and temperature controller are also provided to maintain a constant desired temperature inside the hot water tank.

The unit is supplied with all necessary instruments to measure the inlet and outlet temperatures of the hot and cold water as well as the flow rates of the hot and cold water and the pressure drops across the heat exchangers. Piping and fittings are made of stainless steel materials to prevent rust. The hot water and cold water circuits are properly insulated to minimize heat losses or heat gains between the tank and the heat exchangers.
