Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger
Overview – Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Lab Equipment
The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger educational setup is one of the most widely used heat transfer lab equipment in engineering institutes and I.T.I. It is designed to demonstrate the principles of heat transfer between two fluids separated by a solid wall, simulating real industrial applications.
This shell and tube heat exchanger trainer allows students to study concepts such as parallel flow, counter flow, overall heat transfer coefficient, efficiency, and effectiveness of heat exchangers. With its reliable construction and precise measuring instruments, it provides hands-on learning for engineering students.
Product Description – Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Educational Setup
The apparatus consists of a shell containing a series of tubes through which one fluid flows, while another fluid flows over the tubes inside the shell. This arrangement makes the shell and tube heat exchanger test rig highly efficient and versatile for demonstrating heat transfer principles.
The trainer is equipped with temperature sensors, flow measuring devices, digital scanner, and control valves, enabling learners to conduct experiments under varying operating conditions. The design simulates practical industrial heat exchangers used in chemical, power, and process industries.
Durable construction, user-friendly controls, and safe operation make this heat transfer educational equipment ideal for continuous use in engineering labs.
