Study Notes

Heat Exchangers

  • The main function of a heat exchanger is to transfer heat between two fluids.

Types of Heat Exchangers

  • In a cross-flow heat exchanger, heat transfer occurs between one fluid flowing through a bundle of tubes and another fluid flowing transversely over the outside of the tubes.

Applications of Cross-Flow Heat Exchangers

  • Cross-flow heat exchangers are typically used in engineering applications.

Cross Flow Heat Exchanger (Model: HE350)

  • The model number of the cross-flow heat exchanger used in the experiment is HE350.
  • The unit is suitable for teaching students in the field of mechanical engineering.
  • The custom-designed electronic interface mounted in an adjacent console provides a purpose.
  • The digital thermal anemometer measures the temperature of the fluid flowing through the tubes.
  • The thermal protection component provides thermal protection for the heater.
  • The airflow through the blower fan can be adjusted using a variable speed controller.
  • The airflow at the fan discharge is controlled by the outlet grille.
  • Acrylic panels are mounted using screws and clips for different configurations of the heater tubes.
  • The connectors of the heater should be connected to the power supply.
  • Thermocouples are inserted into the holes in the respective acrylic boxes during an experiment.
  • The residual current circuit breaker provides operator protection by supplying both fan and console.
  • The active plain element of the heater is located in the center of the heater tubes.
  • The heat input can be adjusted using a variable voltage controller.
