UTC-1a Heat Transfer With Plate And U-Tube Heat Exchanger Didactic Equipment Thermal Transfer Training Equipment

Description

UTC-1a Heat Transfer With Plate And U-Tube Heat Exchanger Didactic Equipment Thermal Transfer Training Equipment

This unit enables to study heat exchanges by using a U-tube exchanger and a plate-type exchanger. The automated version (mod. UTC-1a) includes a PID controller that controls the flow rates automatically via two pneumatic valves.

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
• Automatic flow control by PID controller (for mod. UTC-1a, only)
• System supervision by P.C. (for mod. UTC-1a, only)

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Mod. UTC-1a

Besides being provided with all the characteristics of mod. UTC-1, this model also includes the following additional items:

• 2 electronic magnetic induction flow transmitters of AISI 316stainless steel, range of 0 to 1000 l/h, 4-20 mA output signal
• 2 pneumatic valves of AISI 316 stainless steel (Cv = 2.5)for flow control
• Microprocessor digital PID controller, with serial card
• Supervision software for Windows: it enables to controlON-OFF signals, analog signals coming from PID controller,real-time trend and historical trend
