The GUNT Finned Tube Heat Exchanger trainer enables quantitative study of heat transfer between hot water flowing inside finned tubes and cold air flowing externally. Designed for laboratory use, it simulates heating or cooling of gaseous media such as engine air coolers. The finned tubes increase heat transfer surface area to enhance convective heat exchange.
Product Features
- Finned-tube heat exchanger installed in an air duct with fan for cold air flow
- Streamlined inlet and flow straightener ensure homogeneous air flow
- Volumetric air flow adjustable via throttle valve; measured by nozzle at fan inlet
- Closed hot water circuit with tank, heater, pump, adjustable flow, and electromagnetic flow sensor
- Flow rate adjustable via valve to control heat transfer conditions
- Inlet and outlet temperatures and flow rates measured for energy balance calculations
- Pressure sensor in water circuit enables pump characteristic plotting
- Digital displays and USB data transfer to PC for detailed analysis
- Includes GUNT software for measurement acquisition and evaluation
Benefits
- Hands-on learning of convective heat transfer with finned tube technology
- Precise flow and temperature control for varied experimental conditions
- Energy balance and pump characteristic measurements enhance understanding
- USB data logging and software support facilitate advanced analysis
