JACKETED VESSEL AND COIL

This heat exchanger mimics those used in the process
industry. It can show heat transfer by using the outer skin
(or ?jacket?) of the vessel, or by a coil inside the vessel. You
can set a continuous feed to the vessel for heating or you
set a fixed batch for heating. The unit has an extra
thermocouple to measure the batch temperature. It also
has a motorised stirrer to show how stirring affects 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 between the
Service Module and the heat exchanger are self-sealing
quick connectors ? for safety and simplicity. The hot and
cold fluid streams have different connectors to reduce
errors.
The bedplate fixes to the Service Module with
thumbscrews.
