Introduction
Heat Exchangers are a vital component in many industrial processes enabling heat to be transferred from one
fluid to another.
Four of the most common types found in industry are Concentric Tube, Shell and Tube, Plate and Jacketed
Vessel. Student engineers need to be aware of the characteristics of these and other heat exchangers if they are
to be involved in the design, operation or service of any heat transfer process.
The Hilton Heat Exchanger Service Unit is bench mounted, fully instrumented and operates from conventional
single phase electrical supply and mains water. Using optional modules, the Service Unit enables students to
investigate the performance of each of these common heat exchangers and their variants.
Experimental Capabilities
For detailed descriptions and experimental capabilities refer to individual data sheets for each optional
heat exchanger.
Description
Service Unit H102 (Shown with Optional H102C Fitted)
A bench mounted, reinforced plastic panel with an integral electrical console that provides services for
any of the optional heat exchangers.
Temperature controlled hot water is provided from an electrically heated tank by a continuously rated
fixed speed pump. Mains cold water is pressure regulated. Hot and Cold flow is controlled and
measured using variable area flowmeters. The optional heat exchangers are connected to the service
unit using non-drip, self sealing couplings.
Electrical safety is provided by double pole overload and earth leakage circuit breakers. The hot water
system is equipped with a safety temperature limiting device.
