Flow Boiling Demonstration Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-CELE-13921

This trainer is a specialized, compact educational unit designed to visually demonstrate the different phases of evaporation (boiling) that occur inside heated pipes, simulating conditions found in water-tube boilers. Its primary feature is the double-wall glass evaporation pipe that allows for close observation of the process.

Core Principles and Design

  • Process Simulation: Hot water flows through an outer pipe (the hot water circuit) to provide heat. This heat evaporates a non-toxic liquid (which boils at 40C to 50C) flowing through the inner pipe (the evaporation circuit).
  • Observation: The full glass design is essential for observing the change in phase from liquid to vapor and the resulting flow patterns.
  • Low-Pressure Generation: A built-in water jet vacuum pump is used to generate low system pressures, which allows the evaporation process to occur at the low operating temperatures.
  • Circuits:
    • Hot Water Circuit: Includes an expansion vessel, circulating pump, and electrical heater with a thermostat.
    • Evaporation Circuit: Includes the evaporator pipe, vapor collector, watercooled condenser, and return pipe.

System Components

The two pipe systems are clearly laid out on a metal panel and include:

Component

Function

Evaporator Pipe

Double-wall glass pipe where evaporation occurs.

Hot Water Heater

Electrical heater with thermostat for the hot water circuit.

Vacuum/Pressure

Water jet vacuum pump to lower pressure; Collector with manometer and excess pressure valve.

Condensation

Condenser and cooling water connection.

Flow Control

Shut off valve and Circulating pump (for the hot water circuit).

Experiments and Learning Objectives

The design supports the study of the visual transitions during boiling and the influence of operating parameters.

Evaporation Flow Regimes (Visual Study):

  • Single phase liquid flow
  • Bubbly flow
  • Slug flow
  • Annular flow
  • Film boiling
  • Drop flow (mist)
  • Single phase vapor flow

Effect on the Evaporation Process (Parameter Study):

  • Flow rate
  • Temperature
  • Pressure (controlled by the vacuum pump)

Site Requirements

  • Electric supply: 230V AC, 50 Hz.
  • Water line: Required for the cooling water connection and the operation of the water jet vacuum pump.
