SHELL & TUBE HEAT EXCHANGER

Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers are popular in process industries because they occupy less space and offer reasonable temperature drops. The apparatus consists of a fabricated shell, inside which tubes with baffles on the outer side are fitted. The present setup is a 1-2 heat exchanger, with cold water flows through the shell. Valves are provided to control the flow rates of hot and cold water. Flow rates of hot and cold water are measured using Rotameters. A magnetic drive pump is used to circulate the hot water from a re-cycled type water tank, which is fitted with heaters and Digital Temperature Controller.
