DESCRIPTION :
Shell & Tube type condensers are widely used in various industries. The present set-up offers us a study of Horizontal condenser. Condenser is a fabricated SS shell, inside which Stainless Steel tubes are fitted.
Cold fluid enters from one end of the tubes and come out of the other. Hot fluid that is steam is admitted at the one end of shell passes over the cold-water tubes. Valves are provided to control the flow rates of
hot and cold fluids. Flow rate of cold water is measured by using Rotameter. Shell is fitted with steam traps from where condensate is collected in measuring cylinder. Temperature of inlet and outlet of both
hot & cold fluids are measured by RTD PT-100 temperature sensors.
EXPERIMENTATION:
- To determine the overall Heat Transfer Co-efficient for horizontal condenser
UTILITIES REQUIRED :
- Water supply 2.0 lit/min (approx.)
- Floor Drain.
- Electricity Supply: 1 Phase, 220 V AC, 4 kW.
- Floor area of 1.5 m x 1m.
