Plate Heat Exchanger (SMT-HT-40)
This heat exchanger is a set of metal plates separated by spacers (gaskets). The plates and gaskets have holes that make the hot and cold flow run on alternate sides of the plates, therefore transferring heat. The metal plates have flow disturbers on their sides to help improve the heat transfer.
The equipment consists of hot water tank with built-in heater. A centrifugal pump draws water and delivers it to the heat exchanger. Laboratory tap water is used for cold water supply. Flowmeters/flow sensors are installed to measure flow rate for hot and cold water. Temperature sensors are installed to measure hot and cold temperature at both inlet and outlet of heat exchanger. A 3KW heater is used to heat the water inside the hot water tank. Electronic safety is installed to protect heater from dry run. A thermostat keeps the hot water temperature constant.
