UTC-2 Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube And Coil Heat Exchanger Teaching Equipment Thermal Lab Equipment

Description

UTC-2 Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube And Coil Heat Exchanger Teaching Equipment Thermal Lab Equipment

This unit enables to study heat exchanges using a coil heat exchanger and a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. The automated version (mod. UTC-2a) 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 in co-current and counter-current
• 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
