CONCENTRIC HEAT EXCHANGER
SOLTEQ®
MODEL: HE 104
This Concentric Heat Exchanger (Model: HE 104) is developed to investigate the fundamental principles
of heat transfer as applied to a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. A simple arrangement of valves allows
DESCRIPTION
The apparatus requires only a cold water supply, single
phase electrical outlet and a bench top to enable a series
of simple measurements to be made by students
needing an introduction to heat exchanger design and
operation. Experiments can be readily conducted in a
short period of time, without the need of setting up
operations, to accurately show the practical importance
of the followings:
a) Temperature profiles
b) Co- and counter-current flow
c) Energy balances
d) Log mean temperature difference
e) Heat transfer coefficients
The equipment consists of a concentric tube exchanger
in the form of “U”, mounted on a support frame. The
external surface of the exchanger is insulated. Six
temperature sensors are installed in both the inlet and
outlet tubes, to measure the fluid temperatures
accurately. To minimise losses in the system, the hot
water is fed through the inner pipe, with the cooling water
in the outer annulus. Control valves are
operation as either a parallel flow or counter-flow heat exchanger enabling temperature profiles, energy

incorporated in each of the two streams to regulate the
flow. The flow rates are measured using independent
flow meters installed in each line.
Temperature and flow readings could continuously being
captured and logged into the computer with optional
Data Acquisition System. These data are useful for
further calculations and analysis. On-line trending
display allows student to observe the fluctuations of flow
and temperature readings immediately.
The hot water system is totally self-contained. A hot
water storage tank is equipped with an immersion type
heater and a temperature controller. Circulation to the
heat exchanger is provided by a pump, and water
returns to the storage tank via a baffle arrangement to
ensure adequate mixing. The cold water required for
the exchanger is taken from the laboratory mains supply.
A readily identifiable valve arrangement allows simple
change-over between co- and counter-current
configurations.
EXPERIMENTAL CAPABILITIES
♦ Energy balance determination
♦ Temperature profiles in co- and counter-current
flows
♦ Log mean temperature difference
♦ Heat transfer coefficient calculation
♦ Effect of flow rate on heat transfer rate
♦ Heat loss estimation and ‘k-factors’
SPECIFICATIONS
Bench mounted concentric tube arrangement in ‘U’
shape, whereby heat transfer takes place between hot
and cold water streams. External surface of the
exchanger is insulated. Six temperature sensors and
two rotameters are located in each of hot and cold lines.
Flow regulators are incorporated in both streams.
Simple valve arrangement allows change-over between
co- and counter-current configurations. Requires only
cold water and electricity.
