Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger (Product Code: SLE/EA/16) is a tube-in-tube heat exchanger used to show how heat passes from a hot fluid in one tube to a cold fluid in the other in college engineering laboratories. The simplest of the optional heat exchangers, it is built in two equal halves joined by intermediate pipes, giving two extra measurement points at the midpoint. This lab equipment for technical institutes is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Design | Two tubes, one inside the other (tube-in-tube) |
| Fluid streams | One tube carries the hot fluid and the other the cold fluid; heat transfers between them |
| Construction | Two equal parts joined by intermediate pipes |
| Extra measurement | Two additional measurement points at the midpoint |
| Position in range | The simplest of the optional heat exchangers |
| Product code | SLE/EA/16 |
| Manufacturer | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) — OEM |
| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
With readings at the inlets, the outlets and the two midpoint positions, students can plot how the hot and cold fluid temperatures change along the exchanger rather than seeing only the end values. That clearer temperature profile makes it easier to explain the log mean temperature difference and why the rate of heat transfer falls as the two streams approach each other in temperature.
Because the geometry is so simple, this is where many learners first calculate an overall heat transfer coefficient. Colleges planning engineering lab equipment in India for a heat transfer course can start with this unit and add plate and shell-and-tube types later for comparison.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a registered MSME manufacturer (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714) and the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger. The exchanger is built at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. For overseas orders, export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT), with quotations coming directly from the manufacturer. Further details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Why is it called a concentric tube heat exchanger?
The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger has two tubes, one inside the other, sharing a common centre line. One tube carries the hot fluid and the other the cold fluid, and heat transfers through the wall that separates them.
What is the benefit of the two-part construction?
The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger is made in two equal parts joined by intermediate pipes, which adds two measurement points at the midpoint. These readings show more clearly how the fluid temperatures change during heat transfer, giving more useful results.
Is it suitable as a first heat exchanger experiment?
Yes. The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger is the simplest of the optional heat exchangers, so its tube-in-tube layout is easy for students to understand before they progress to plate or shell-and-tube designs.
What supply unit does it work with?
The Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger is one of the optional heat exchangers used with a hot and cold water service unit. Ask us through the contact page to confirm which service unit should be included in your quotation.
Who manufactures the Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab, manufactures the Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it directly to colleges and trade buyers.
Can the Concentric Tube Heat Exchanger be shipped abroad?
