Key features

• A benchtop service module with optional small-scale demonstration heat exchangers designed for teaching
• Optional heat exchangers include the most common types used in industry (tubular, plate, shell and tube, and a jacketed vessel with coil and stirrer)
• Simple and safe to use, its foolproof fi ttings allow students to change and connect the optional heat exchangers quickly and easily without tools
• Clear digital displays of all readings (you do not need a computer to work it or take readings)
• Can connect to Versatile Data Acquisition System

Description
It provides hot and cold water to the heat exchangers and all the instruments needed to measure their performance. All fluid connections to the optional heat exchangers are selfsealing quick connectors – for safety and simplicity. The hot and cold fluid streams have different connectors to reduce errors.The services module’s hot water system includes a tank with a PID controlled electric heater, a pump and tank level indicators. An electrically 
operated valve opens to let water in to fi ll the tank. The tank has protection in case of over temperature, low water level and overfilling. The hot water system gives stable flow rates and temperatures. The services module’s cold water circuit has a flow regulator and connection for an external mains watersupply. Both the cold and hot water system have precision need levalves and turbine flow meters to control and measure the flow rates. Thermocouples at the connectors measure hot and cold inlet and outlet fl uid stream temperatures. Some heat-exchangers also have built-in  thermocouples for extra temperature measurements. Clear, multiline digital displays show the temperatures and fl ow rates of the fluid streams.

All optional heat exchangers have the same nominal heat transfer area and wall thickness, so students can compare them directly.You can do tests with or without a computer connected. However, for quicker tests with easier recordingof results, can supply the optional Versatile Data Acquisition System.

This gives accurate real-time data capture, monitoring and display, calculation and charting of all the important readings on a computer (computer not included).
Available Experiment Modules
• Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger 
• Plate Heat Exchanger 
• Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger 
• Jacketed Vessel with Coil and Stirrer 
Note: You need at least one of the optional heat exchangers to do experiments. recommends that you buy the Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger first, because it has extra temperature measuring points.
