Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Film and Dropwise Equipment.
Condensation is a phase change heat transfer process occurring in many
industrial applications, such as in steam power plants, refrigeration
plants etc. Thus this is one of the important heat transfer process as
present in mechanical and chemical engineering applications.
The condensation of vapour on a surface is of two types:
Drop wise Condensation
Film wise Condensation.
This setup is designed for determining heat transfer co-efficient of two
types of condensation and for visualization of these processes. It
consists of a vertical frame. Condensation tubes are fitted inside
compact glass cylinder. Steam generator is fitted at the backside of the
cylinder.
Steam comes directly from generator to the cylinder. Two valves are
fitted to control flow rate of water in individual tubes. Digital
Temperature Indicator monitors the temperatures. Pressure gauge and
Rotameter can observe steam pressure and cold water flow rates
respectively.
A Digital temperature Controller is provided for controlling the
temperature of Steam. Water level indicator is provided in steam
generator. Condensate is measured by a measuring cylinder and stop
watch.
