HEAT EXCHANGER TRAINING

APPARATUS
MODEL: HE 158

HIS Heat Exchanger Training Apparatus (Model: HE 158) has been 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 unit comes with four types of heat exchangers. Two

30-L stainless steel sump tanks are provided for the
hot and cold water stream. The hot tank is fitted with a
6 kW heater which is protected against possible over
heating. Each tank has a centrifugal pump which are
protected from dry-run by an electronic level switch
installed inside each of the sump tanks. A low level in
the cold water tank will automatically stop the pump
whereas a low level in the hot water tank will switch off
the heater and stop the pump.
All necessary instruments are fitted at suitable locations
for mesuring the inlet and outlet temperatures of the
hot and cold water, and also the flow rates of the hot
and cold water. Differential pressure gauges are also

fitted to measure the differential pressure across the

heat exchangers. The unit comes with non-corroding
type of piping and fittings including all necessary control
valves.

EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES:

energy balance determination

temperature profiles in counter-current flow
log mean temperature difference
heat transfer coefficient
flow rate effects on heat transfer rate
heat loss estimation
relationship between Nu and Re numbers
