Multi-Pass Fixed Tube Sheet Heat Exchanger Training Model

Model Number: 286

A detailed, disassemblable scale model for realistic training on industrial shell-and-tube heat exchangers.

Overview

The shell and tube heat exchanger’s simple design makes it one of the most popular cooling solutions for a wide variety of applications. For example, it’s commonly used to cool hydraulic fluid and oil in engines, transmissions, and hydraulic power packs. It’s also the most common type of heat exchanger used in oil refineries and other large chemical processes. Shell and tube heat exchangers consist of a cylindrical shell with a bundle of tubes inside it. They work by circulating a hot liquid inside the shell around the tubes, which contain a cooler liquid. In a fixed tube sheet heat exchanger, the tubes are permanently positioned inside the shell and thus are not removable. In a multi-pass heat exchanger, the liquid passes through the tube bundle two or more times. DAC Worldwide’s Multi-Pass Fixed Tube Sheet Heat Exchanger Training Model (286) is a highly-detailed scale model that teaches learners about the operation and maintenance of industrial multi-pass fixed tube sheet heat exchangers.
