TIPLB Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB

The Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB, "TIPLB", designed by EDIBON, allows the study of heat transfer between hot and cold water flowing through alternate channels formed between parallel plates. This unit enables the analysis of how heat transfer varies under different conditions, such as changes in flow rate, temperature, and flow type (counter-current or parallel). With a plate arrangement that optimizes heat transfer, the Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB offers an effective tool for heat exchange analysis and experimentation.

The plate heat exchanger allows detailed study and analysis of heat transfer between two fluids flowing through alternate channels formed between parallel plates. This includes investigating the efficiency of the exchanger, studying the effectiveness of heat exchange, assessing the influence of flow rate on heat transfer, and comparing different flow configurations, such as counter-current and parallel flow. Additionally, this unit allows specific practices to be developed for determining the overall energy balance in the exchanger, calculating exchanger effectiveness using the NTU method, and studying the influence of Reynolds number on heat transfer.

The plate heat exchanger enables temperature measurement at various points within the exchanger, providing a detailed understanding of thermal distribution within the unit.

In summary, the Plate Heat Exchanger for TICB, "TIPLB", offers students, professors, and researchers the opportunity to thoroughly understand and practice the fundamental principles of heat transfer and its application in industry, thanks to its parallel plate design.

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.
