GUNT boiling process unit demonstrates heating liquids over surfaces producing different boiling modes dependent on heat flux density. These modes can accelerate evaporation (nucleate boiling) or impair it (film boiling). Limiting heat flux density prevents damage to heating surfaces and is important for steam boiler design in steam-powered drives.
Product Features
- Heating liquid over a surface produces different boiling modes depending on heat flux density.
- Boiling modes include nucleate boiling, which accelerates evaporation, and film boiling, which impairs evaporation.
- Limiting heat flux density is critical to avoid damage to heating surfaces.
- The experimental unit uses a transparent tank for clear visualization of boiling and evaporation.
- A condenser with a water-cooled tube coil ensures a closed circuit within the tank.
- R1233zd evaporating liquid is used, with a boiling point around 18°C at 1013 hPa for low-temperature operation.
- Sensors monitor cooling water flow rate, heating power, pressure, and temperatures at relevant points.
- Measured values are displayed digitally and can be transmitted to a PC via USB.
- Data acquisition software is included for analysis and visualization.
Benefits
- Visualizes different boiling modes safely at low temperatures.
- Provides practical understanding of evaporation and boiling for steam boiler design.
- Enables detailed data collection and analysis through included software.
