Laboratory unit for testing different designs of heat exchangers: plate, shell and tube and air.

Study of design and principles of operation of heat exchangers of different types: plate, shell and tube and air cooler. List of works to be carried out on the training stand: - Conducting tests of heat exchangers in direct and counterflow modes. - Measuring the flow rates and temperatures at the inlet and outlet of hot and cold coolants. - Consolidation of information about the physical essence of heat transfer from hot to cold coolant and analysis of factors affecting the optimisation of the process. - Determination of heat transfer coefficients in recuperative heat exchangers at direct and countercurrent schemes of coolant flow. - Experimental study of the operation of shell-and-tube and plate heat exchangers with determination of their thermal load.
