Plate Type Heat Exchanger Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-HTL-10052
Jlab Export is a leading Plate Type Heat Exchanger Apparatus Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Plate Type Heat Exchanger Apparatus (code EL-HTL-10052) is a counter flow water-to-water exchanger built from 200 x 400 mm stainless steel plates, with hot water from a 3 kW geyser and cold water from a constant-head supply. Students use it to find the heat transfer rate, LMTD, heat transfer coefficients and effectiveness. JLab builds this plate exchanger trainer in Ambala, India.

How the Plate Pack Exchanges Heat
Hot and cold water run through alternate gaps in the plate pack, so each inner plate has hot water on one face and cold on the other. Heat crosses a thin metal wall over the whole plate area, which lets a plate exchanger fit a large surface into a small volume. The connections are placed so the streams move in opposite directions, keeping the temperature difference fairly even along the plates.
From Readings to Results
Timing a known volume into the calibrated vessel gives each mass flow. The heat given up by the hot water, mh cp (Th,in − Th,out), can be checked against the heat gained by the cold water; the gap is the loss to the room. For counter flow, ΔT1 = Th,in − Tc,out and ΔT2 = Th,out − Tc,in, and their log mean is the LMTD. Then U = Q / (A × LMTD), with A the plate area shared by both streams, and effectiveness compares Q with the most heat the smaller-capacity stream could take up across the full inlet difference. The optional rotameters and digital indicator replace the timing and thermometer readings.
Other Heat Exchanger Designs

- Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger — hot water through copper tubes, cold water over them in the shell.
- Tubular Heat Exchanger — concentric tube sections with a clear acrylic outer and stainless steel inner tube.
- Parallel and Counter Flow Heat Exchanger — switchable flow direction, hot water pumped from a heated tank.
