Heat Exchanger

REDUNDANT FRAME JOINT APPARATUS

Technical Detail

Apparatus consists of three suspension members (spring balances) of different stiffness which are jointed at a point to form the redundant joint.

The upper end of the suspension members being tied in a position to a vertical wooden board. Arrangement is provided to apply a vertical load at the joint and to measure its horizontal and vertical displacement on a paper and also elongations and forces in the suspension members by the help of dial gauges.

Two dial gauges with 25mm travel (with magnetic bases)

Apparatus complete with a supporting stand and a set of weights.

Plate type heat exchanger consists off ramien which independent metal plates are clamped between ahead and follower. The plates are sealed at their outer edges and around the ports by gaskets, which are so arranged that the liquid and the heating /cooling media are directed alternately into passages formed between the plates.

The hot fluid enters at the top on the right side of the fixed end cover and flows downwards through alternate channels between the plates. The Hot fluid leaves the exchanger through a connection at the bottom of the fixed end cover. The cold fluid enters at the bottom of the left side of the fixed end cover. The cold fluid flows in counter current flow through alternate channels between the plates and leaves the exchanger at the top on the left side of the fixed end cover.
