UTC-2Sa Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube Exchanger Educational Equipment Thermal Laboratory Equipment

Description

UTC-2Sa Heat Transfer With Shell-And-Tube Exchanger Educational Equipment Thermal Laboratory Equipment

This unit consists of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger and of a tank heated by an electric heater for the production of hot water pumped by a centrifugal pump. Tests can be carried out in co-current and counter-current.

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
• Automatic flow control by PID controller (for mod. UTC-2Sa, only)
• System supervision by P.C. (for mod. UTC-2Sa, only)

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:

Mod. UTC-2Sa

Besides being provided with all the characteristics of mod. UTC-2S, 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
