Heat Exchangers Apparatus Didactic Education Equipment

HESU Heat Exchangers Apparatus Didactic Education Equipment

This equipment consists of a service unit (HES) that supplies the necessary utilities and measuring instruments to carry out tests on 5 types of heat exchangers: tube-in-tube (HE1), plate exchanger (HE2), shell-and-tube (HE3), jacketed tank (HE4) and crossflow exchanger (HE5).
Training program
This unit enables to deepen the following issues:
• Heat transfer between fluids separated by a wall
• 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
