GUNT evaporation process unit demonstrates the vapor generation and flow forms dependent on heat transfer area. The medium enters the tube evaporator as a fluid and exits as superheated vapour. In industrial applications, the generated water vapour is used for heating plants or machine drives. Understanding boiling crises — sudden deterioration of heat transfer causing dangerous wall temperature increases — is essential for reliable steam generator design.
Product Features
- During vapor generation, the medium passes through different flow forms depending on the heat transfer area.
- The medium flows into a glass tube evaporator as a fluid and exits as superheated vapour.
- Water vapour produced in large systems is used in heating plants or machine drives.
- Knowledge of evaporation processes and boiling crises is important to ensure reliable steam generator operation.
- Boiling crises are caused by sudden deterioration of heat transfer leading to dangerous wall temperature increases.
- The experimental unit heats evaporating liquid R1233zd in a transparent glass tube evaporator.
- R1233zd has a low boiling point (~18°C at 1013 hPa), allowing evaporation at lower temperatures and heating power compared to water.
- Pressure can be varied via the cooling circuit to simulate different conditions.
- A water jet pump evacuates the evaporation circuit for accurate pressure control and visualization.
Benefits
- Safe and clear visualization of evaporation and boiling crisis phenomena at reduced temperatures.
- Ideal for research and educational applications in thermodynamics and heat transfer.
- Enables practical understanding of industrial vapor generation processes.
