Automated Advance Heat Transfer Rig
Teaching Objectives of
Automated Advance Heat Transfer Rig
- Implementation of a heat exchange.
- Analysis of heat exchange performances.
Possible Experiments:
- Determination of :
- Heat balances.
- Global heat transfer coefficients
- Flow regimes
- Study of the effect of transfer mode (con or counter-current).
- Study of the effect of hot and cold fluid supply.
- Comparison of the efficiency of 4 types of heat exchangers.
Technical specifications
- 1 coiled exchanger
- 1 concentric exchanger
- 1 plate exchanger with brazed plates
- 1 Shell & tube exchanger
- 21 stainless steel manual valves
- 5 pressure gauges
- 1 electronic flowmeter (cold circuit)
- 1 electronic flowmeter (hot circuit)
- 1 stainless steel pneumatic valve for the cold water flow
- 1 stainless steel pneumatic valve for the hot water flow
- 2 converters P/I
- 1 electrical cabinet
- 16 temperature probes
- 2 temperature displays with a 2 positions switch and a 4 positions switch and a communications card type RS485
- 4 temperature displays with RS485 output and one RS485/RS232 converter
- 2 flowmeters displays
- The exchangers are out of stainless steel
- The external grills of the exchanger with serpentine and the multitubular exchanger are out of glass.
- The external grill of the monotubular exchanger is out of stainless steel.
- The circuit is carried out in stainless steel piping and is assembled on welded stainless steel frame.
- A technical manual is delivered with the bench.
- A supervision software designed on Labview allowing to configure remotely the regulators, to select the temperature displays and to control the flow according to the selected exchangers and the transfer mode.
