Heat Exchanger (Product Code: SLE/EA/17) is a heat exchanger service unit used to supply stable hot and cold water streams to optional heat exchangers and measure their performance in engineering laboratories. Precision needle valves and turbine flow meters control and measure both streams, while thermocouples and multiline digital displays report inlet and outlet temperatures and flow rates. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer of vocational training and engineering lab equipment, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

| Country of origin | India (made in Ambala, Haryana) |
This unit is the common base of a heat exchanger practical. Students couple an optional exchanger to it with the quick connectors, set the hot and cold flows on the needle valves, and read temperatures and flow rates from the displays. Because every optional exchanger has the same nominal heat transfer area and wall thickness, differences in results come from the exchanger design itself, giving a fair comparison.
Connect the cold water circuit to the mains supply, fill the tank through the electrically operated valve and let the hot water system settle before logging data. For multi-bench laboratories, several service units can be quoted together as one scientific equipment bulk supply order.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this Heat Exchanger service unit and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Sourcing the service unit and its exchangers from one manufacturer means a single point of contact for questions on connections, spares and add-on exchangers. Engineering colleges, dealers and importers are supplied factory-direct. Visit our company profile for more.

What does the Heat Exchanger service unit provide?
The Heat Exchanger service unit provides hot and cold water to the optional heat exchangers, together with all the instruments needed to measure their performance, including flow meters, thermocouples and digital displays for temperatures and flow rates.
How are the flow rates controlled and measured?
Both the hot and cold water systems of the Heat Exchanger service unit have precision needle valves and turbine flow meters. The cold water circuit also includes a flow regulator and a connection for an external mains water supply.
What protection does the water tank have?
The tank of the Heat Exchanger service unit is protected against over temperature, low water level and overfilling. An electrically operated valve opens to let water in to fill it, which keeps set-up simple for students.
Why can different exchangers be compared directly?
All the optional heat exchangers used with the Heat Exchanger service unit have the same nominal heat transfer area and wall thickness, so students can compare their results directly and attribute differences to the exchanger design.
How are temperatures measured?
Thermocouples at the connectors of the Heat Exchanger service unit measure the hot and cold inlet and outlet temperatures. Some heat exchangers also carry built-in thermocouples for extra readings, all shown on clear multiline digital displays.
Who manufactures the Heat Exchanger service unit?
The Heat Exchanger service unit (SLE/EA/17) is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, India. Quotations for the unit and its exchangers come straight from the manufacturer.
