TITC Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger for TICC

The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger for TICC, "TITC", designed by EDIBON, allows for the study of heat transfer between two fluids: the hot water flowing through the inner tube and the cold water flowing through the annular zone between the inner and outer tubes. This unit enables analysis of how heat transfer varies under different conditions, such as changes in flow rate, temperature, and flow type (counterflow or parallel flow).

A concentric tube heat exchanger allows for the study and analysis of heat transfer between two fluids flowing through concentric tubes, one inside the other. This includes investigating the efficiency of the heat exchanger, studying the effectiveness of heat exchange, the influence of flow rate on heat transfer, and comparing different flow configurations, such as counterflow and parallel flow.

Additionally, this unit allows for the development of specific practices to determine the overall energy balance in the heat exchanger, calculate the effectiveness of the heat exchanger using the NTU method, and study the influence of Reynolds number on heat transfer.

In summary, the TITC offers students, teachers, and researchers the opportunity to understand and practice the fundamental principles of heat transfer and its application in the industry.

To work with this unit, the Base and Service Unit, "TIUS", 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.

These Computer Controlled Units are supplied with EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
