CONCENTRIC TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

This is the simplest of the optional heat exchangers. It has
two tubes, one inside the other. One tube carries hot fluid,
the other carries cold fluid. Heat transfers between them.
TecQuipment?s heat exchanger is in two equal parts joined
by intermediate pipes. This allows two extra measurement
points at the midpoint (plus the standard four points at
the connectors). This gives more useful experiment results,
to show more clearly how the fluid temperatures change
during heat transfer.
The Service Module (TD360) provides hot and cold water
to the heat exchanger and all the instruments needed to
measure its performance. All fluid connections to the heat
exchanger are self-sealing quick connectors – for safety and
simplicity. The hot and cold fluid streams have different
connectors to reduce errors. Connecting the heat
exchanger takes less than one minute.
The heat exchanger is on a bedplate that has a clear
schematic diagram showing the connections. The bedplate
fixes to the Service Module with thumbscrews.
