Working Principle of Heat Exchanger Service Unit
The working of the Heat Exchanger Service Unit involves hot and cold water circuits that simulate real industrial heat exchanger operations.
1. Heating System
An electric heater (500–1500W) heats the water to the desired temperature.
2. Circulation System
Water flows through the connected heat exchanger module using controlled pumps or gravity.
3. Heat Transfer
Hot water transfers heat to cold water (or vice versa) through metal surfaces inside the exchanger.
4. Temperature Measurement
High-accuracy sensors measure inlet and outlet temperatures on both hot and cold sides.
5. Analysis
Students calculate heat transfer rate, LMTD, thermal resistance, and exchanger efficiency.
This system helps demonstrate parallel flow, counter-flow, cross-flow, and mixed flow heat exchanger behaviors.
