The system comprises of a plate-type heat exchanger with hot water from a geyser as the hot fluid and cold fluid, respectively. The input and outside connectors for the fluids are set up to create a counter-flow type exchanger. The students can calculate the heat transfer rate, LMTD, heat transfer coefficients, and efficiency of the heat exchanger using the measurements that are presented when hot and cold fluids flow between alternating plates.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Heat Exchanger- S.S. Plate heat exchanger wiles nos. of 200 X 400mm.
• Geyser to obtain hot water – 3 KW capacity.
• Calibrated water flow measuring vessel
• Thermometers to measure inlet and outlet temperatures of fluid.
• Flow controls valves. 

A technical manual accompanies the unit.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES:

•  Rotameters to measure water flow rates instead of measuring vessel.
• Multi channel digital temperature Indicator to measure the temperatures instead of thermometers.

SERVICES REQUIRED:

• Floor space 1.5m. X 1m,
• 30V, 15A, AC supply with earthing connection,
• Water supply at the rate of about 10 lit/min at constant heat.
