PLATE HEAT EXCHANGER

SOLTEQ

MODEL: HE 200
DESCRIPTION
Hot Water Circuit:
A stainless steel hot water tank heated by a suitably
sized electric heater serves as the hot water source. The
hot water temperature is controlled by a temperature
controller up to 70C. A centrifugal pump circulates the
hot water through the circuit. A flowmeter is provided for
measuring the hot water flowrate. Two temperature
gauges are provided for the inlet and outlet temperature.
All process pipings are of stainless steel type and ap-
propriate insulation is applied to minimize heat loss.
Cold Water Circuit:
A stainless steel cold water tank acts as the source of
cold water to be heated and is pumped through the cold
water
HIS Plate Heat Exchanger (Model: HE 200) has been designed to introduce students on the principles of
a plate exchanger. The equipment consists of mainly a stainless steel plate heat exchanger with cold and
hot water circulation systems. Instrumentations for heat exchanger studies are provided for collecting all
necessary process data such as liquid flowrates and temperatures. Students will be able to calculate heat transfer
coefficients, heat exchanger efficiencies, LMTD, etc., based on the experimental results.

circuit and discharge into drain. A flowmeter is provided

for measuring the cold water flowrate. Two temperature
gauges are provided for the inlet and outlet temperature.
All process pipings are of stainless steel type.
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
Determination of heat load, heat loss, LMTD and
energy balance calculation
Calculation of overall heat transfer coefficient
Study of co-current and counter-current flow
Temperature profile plot in the exchanger
Relationships between flow rates and temperature
difference on the heat transfer rate
