The Expanded Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB, "TIPLAB", designed by EDIBON, enables detailed study of heat transfer between hot and cold water flowing through alternate channels formed between parallel plates. This unit facilitates analysis of heat transfer variation under different conditions such as changes in flow rate, temperature, and flow type (counterflow or parallel).
With a plate arrangement optimized for enhanced heat transfer, the Expanded Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB offers an effective tool for heat exchange analysis and experimentation. Moreover, it allows for temperature measurement between the plates, which is essential for ensuring efficient thermal exchange and detecting potential issues. This capability enables monitoring of the exchanger’s efficiency, identification of system faults, optimization of design, and understanding of thermal distribution within the unit.
These detailed measurements facilitate adjustments to the exchanger’s operation to enhance performance and ensure proper heat flow between circulating fluids.
In summary, the Expanded Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB, "TIPLAB", provides students, professors, and researchers with an opportunity to deeply understand and apply fundamental principles of heat transfer in plate exchangers. Thanks to its innovative design of parallel plates, this unit enables detailed and applicable insights in the industry.
To work with this unit, the Base and Service Unit, "TIUSB", is required, which provides key functions such as heating water using a thermostatic bath, pumping hot water, regulating and measuring the flow rates of cold and hot water, measuring the inlet and outlet temperatures of cold and hot water, as well as measuring the pressure drop in the heat exchanger.
