The Plate Type Heat Exchanger apparatus is a compact and efficient heat transfer lab equipment designed to help students understand the principles of heat exchange between two fluids. Widely used in industries due to its high efficiency and space-saving design, this plate heat exchanger educational setup allows learners to study the performance and characteristics of plate heat exchangers in a controlled environment.
Through experiments on this plate type heat exchanger trainer, students gain practical insights into overall heat transfer coefficients, effectiveness, and pressure drop under different flow conditions. It is an essential heat transfer laboratory unit for I.T.I., engineering colleges and technical institutes.
This plate heat exchanger test rig consists of a series of thin, corrugated plates that create alternate hot and cold fluid passages. The design provides a large surface area for heat transfer while maintaining compact size and efficiency.
The system is equipped with digital temperature scanner, temperature sensors (Thermocouple and RTD), P.I.D., and flow meters allowing learners to measure inlet and outlet temperatures, and flow rates. A water circulation system with hot and cold water supplies simulates industrial conditions, making it suitable for heat transfer experiments.
The plate type heat exchanger experimental setup is built with durable materials, ensuring long life and accurate performance in continuous academic use.
