Boiling Heat Transfer Training

System
Overview
Boiling Heat Transfer system trainer tends to demonstrate boiling and evaporation processes. It allows
students to understand different forms of evaporation (nucleate and film boiling) and calculate heat
transfer coefficients.

Specifications
• Boiling Heat Transfer Training System is an
educational unit for the investigation of
evaporation processes.
• The trainer is designed to illustrate different
boiling and evaporation processes and
the effect of pressure and temperature on
these processes.
• The trainer consists of a main tank,
condenser coil, heater, vacuum pump,
valves, different sensors, digital displays
and switches
• The processes take place in a transparent
tank which allows the evaporation to be
observed.
• The cooling water of the condenser coil
comes from tap water with flexible hose
connection to supply and drain.
• The trainer is supplied with a needle valve
to control the flow rate of the condenser
water cycle
• The heater is operated only when the

1

limit switch detects the freon covered the
whole surface area of the heater to avoid
heater damage
• The vacuum pump decreases pressure in
the tank so freon R141b boils at temperature
less than 32 c which helps trainees to test
freon boiling at different temperature.
• The sensors record the flow rate of the
cooling water, the inlet/outlet condenser
freon temperature, the vapour and liquid
temperature at all relevant points and
allow analysis of the heat transfer process
• The digital display provide an accurate
reading of temperatures and pressures that
are measured by highly sensitive sensors.
Experiments
• Demonstration Evaporation process
• Investigation different forms of evaporation
(nucleate and film boiling)
