Computer Controlled Cross Flow Heat Exchanger

The Computer Controlled Cross Flow Heat Exchanger, consists of a rectangular wind tunnel made of stainless steel, resistant to corrosion. It has a bell-shaped inlet and a central opening arranged longitudinally with two supporting elements made of stainless steel to retain the plates with the different exchangers.

• 1 ATENG 12899. Unit:
  Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.
  The unit includes wheels to facilitate its mobility.
  Main metallic elements made of stainless steel.
  Diagram in the front panel with distribution of the elements similar to the real one.
• Stainless steel vertical tunnel of 1200 mm long of rectangular section (65 x 170 mm) and resistant to
  corrosion.
• Rectangular central opening of 200 x 150 mm in the tunnel with two supports made of stainless steel
  to hold the plates with the exchangers.
  Elastic tunnel – fan coupling flange with clamp.
• Computer controlled centrifugal fan, controlled through a variable-speed drive; operating range: 0 –
  10 m/s.
  Two “J” type temperature sensors.
• Flow sensor to know the air flow, range: 0 – 1560 m³/h.
• Computer controlled heating element with a diameter of 16 mm and 60 mm long (500 W) with control
  thermocouple.
  Wattmeter to measure the power supplied by the heating elements.
• Included elements:
• Single tube exchanger: exchangeable plate made of Teflon with flat surface with a central bore to
  install the single tube heating element.
• Unit: ATENG 12899
• Pinned (multi-tube) exchanger: exchangeable plate made of Teflon with 27 fixed tubes made of PVC
• of 16 mm approximately of diameter arranged in an equilateral triangle. The tubes are arranged in six
  rows and there is a removable tube close to the center of each row. It can be replaced by the heating
  element to measure the effects of the rows of adjacent tubes on the heat transfer rate of the heating Included elements
  element.
• The complete unit includes as well:
  Advanced Real-Time SCADA and PID Control.
  Open Control + Multicontrol + Real-Time Control.
  Specialized Control Software based on LabVIEW.
  National Instruments Data Acquisition board (250 KS/s, kilo samples per second).
  Calibration exercises, which are included, teach the user how to calibrate a sensor and the
  importance of checking the accuracy of the sensors before taking measurements.
  Projector and/or electronic whiteboard compatibility allows the unit to be explained and
  demonstrated to an entire class at one time.
  Capable of doing applied research, real industrial simulation, training courses, etc.
  Remote operation and control by the user and remote control for technical support,
  are always included.
  Totally safe, utilizing 4 safety systems (Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic & Software).
  Designed and manufactured under several quality standards.
  Optional ICAI software to create, edit and carry out practical exercises, tests, exams,
  calculations, etc. Apart from monitoring user's knowledge and progress reached.
  This unit has been designed for future expansion and integration. A common expansion is
  the Scada-Net (ESN) System which enables multiple students to simultaneously
  operate many units in a network.
