What is a Helical Coil Heat Exchanger?

A helical coil heat exchanger consists of a coiled tube placed inside a shell, where two fluids exchange heat. The helical coil induces secondary flow patterns, which increases turbulence and heat transfer efficiency compared to straight-tube exchangers.

This unit allows students and researchers to:

• Study enhanced heat transfer due to helical coil geometry

• Calculate overall heat transfer coefficients

• Observe temperature profiles along the coil

• Analyze effects of flow rate and fluid properties on thermal performance

The Helical Coil Heat Exchanger Unit is ideal for practical learning of advanced heat transfer concepts.

Working Principle of Helical Coil Heat Exchanger Unit

The apparatus operates on conduction and convection heat transfer principles:

1. Fluid Flow: One fluid passes through the helical coil, while the other flows outside the coil in the shell.

2. Heat Transfer: Thermal energy transfers through the coil wall from hot fluid to cold fluid.

3. Temperature Measurement: Sensors record inlet, outlet, and coil surface temperatures.

4. Performance Analysis: Data is used to calculate overall heat transfer coefficient, effectiveness, and efficiency.

By varying flow rates, fluid properties, and temperatures, users can simulate real-world industrial heat exchanger performance.

Experiments Performed

• Overall Heat Transfer Coefficient Calculation: Determine thermal efficiency of the helical coil design.

• Temperature Profile Analysis: Measure temperature changes along the coil and shell.

• Effect of Flow Rate: Study how variations in hot and cold fluid flow rates affect heat transfer.
