Plate Type Heat Exchanger with Data Acquisition
Product Code : EL-HAMTLE-10766
Plate Type Heat Exchanger with Data Acquisition (code EL-HAMTLE-10766) is a laboratory trainer built around a stainless steel plate heat exchanger, used to show how hot and cold water exchange heat in parallel and in counter flow. A service module provides hot water from a tank and pump with a 3000 W heater and temperature control unit, measures 6 temperatures and the hot and cold water flows, and the cold water direction is changed by switching the cold hose valves.

What Is the Plate Type Heat Exchanger with Data Acquisition Used For?
In a plate heat exchanger the hot and cold streams run through alternate channels formed between stacked plates, so each stream meets a large area of thin metal in a compact unit. Students warm the supply water in the service module tank, adjust the hot and cold flows, and log the 6 temperatures and both flow meter readings once the exchanger has settled. The heat released by the hot water and taken up by the cold water, compared with the temperature difference between them, yields the heat transfer coefficient of the plate pack. Changing the cold hose valves gives the other flow arrangement, and repeat runs show how flow rate and temperature difference change the result.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the number of plate exchanger trainers required.
- Voltage and frequency — 230 V with 50 Hz or 60 Hz, or 120 V with 60 Hz, single phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a plate heat exchanger work?
Hot and cold water flow in alternate channels formed between stacked plates, so heat passes through each thin plate from one stream to the other over a large area in a compact unit.
What is the exchanger made from?
The heat exchanger itself is a stainless steel plate type unit, connected to the service module that supplies it with hot water.
Can it be run in both flow arrangements?
Yes. Both parallel and counter flow can be demonstrated; switching the cold hose valves changes the direction of the cold water through the plates.
What does the service module provide?
It provides a hot water tank and pump, a 3000 W heater with one temperature control unit, flow meters for hot and cold water, and 6 temperature measuring points.
What size is the unit?
The plate heat exchanger unit measures approx. 800 × 600 × 800 mm, weighs approx. 30 kg and needs an outside water supply as well as single-phase power.
Which results can students obtain?
From the measured temperatures and flows they determine the heat transfer coefficient and see how flow rate and temperature difference affect the heat transferred.
