Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Unit Manufacturer India
A CE-certified heat transfer apparatus for measuring LMTD, overall heat transfer coefficient, and effectiveness under parallel/counter flow conditions, manufactured by Scientico India to ISO 9001:2015 standards. Supplied with calibration certificate, operation manual, and complete export documentation. Designed for Thermodynamics Lab Equipment laboratories in engineering colleges and technical institutions.
The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Unit is a bench-top apparatus used to study heat transfer between two fluid streams in a shell-and-tube configuration, the most widely used heat exchanger type in industrial and process engineering. Students determine the overall heat transfer coefficient, LMTD, effectiveness, and NTU for parallel and counter-flow arrangements.
