GUNT In practice, different types of heat exchangers are used depending on requirements to ensure efficient heat transfer and minimize losses. The GUNT trainer is designed to study and compare five different heat exchangers, demonstrating both parallel flow and counterflow operations with their distinct temperature curves.
Product Features
- Compares five heat exchanger types: plate, tubular, shell & tube, finned tube, and stirred tank with double jacket and coiled tube
- Demonstrates parallel flow and counterflow heat transfer with valve switching
- Heat transfer between hot and cold water in tubes or plates in plate, tubular, and shell & tube exchangers
- Air flows around pipes with hot water in crossflow for finned tube exchanger
- Stirred tank includes a mixing machine to ensure even heat distribution in the water
- Air volume flow for finned tube exchanger adjusted via throttle valve at fan outlet
- Flow rates in hot and cold water circuits adjustable via valves
- Air volume flow measured by fixed differential pressure sensor
- Water pressure measurable at various points using a portable differential pressure sensor
- Temperatures and flow rates displayed digitally and transmitted via USB for PC analysis with included software
- Hot and cold water supplied from laboratory network or optional hot water generator and water chiller accessories
