Overall Didactic Concept
The transfer of heat, with its diff erent
forms of transfer, is the foundation
of thermodynamics. The controlled
transfer of heat takes place in a heat
exchanger. Depending on the require-
ments, diff erent heat exchangers are
used in practice in order to enable an
effi cient transfer of heat.
Students often fi nd the notoriously
diffi cult and dry content of applied
thermodynamics hard to understand.
The WL 110 series helps to methodi-
cally link and apply learnt theory with
real world, practical components.
We speak from experience and, with
our educationally benefi cial overall
concept, we want to help you to teach
this complex subject.
Linking theory and practice
provides the foundation
for understanding complex
technical relationships.

Components
The modular WL 110 series of equipment off ers exten-
sive experiments on diff erent heat exchangers. Diff erent
models of heat exchangers are investigated and com-
pared with each other.
In order to visualise the thermal processes in the heat
exchanger, our innovative and powerful software is an
integral part of the training system. The software enables
a unique form of representation and helps students to
conduct and evaluate experiments. The software deliber-
ately helps create a link between practice and theory.
To complete our overall didactic concept, WL 110
includes multimedia training software which supports
students in the preparation and follow-up of experiments.
The training software enables independent learning of the
theoretical fundamentals and, through explanatory texts,
illustrations and moving images, contributes to under-
standing of the topic.

Tubular heat exchangers are the simplest type of heat
exchanger design. They are preferred when heat is being
transferred at high pressure diff erences or between highly
viscous media. One advantage is that fl ow through the
pipe space is even and free of fl ow dead zones.
The hot water is fed through the core tube (inner) and the
cold water fed through the jacket tube (outer). In doing so,
the hot water continuously emits some of its thermal energy
to the cold water.
Two additional temperature sensors are located on the tubular
heat exchanger to measure the temperature after one half of
the transfer section.
Plate heat exchangers are mainly characterised by their
compact structural shape, in which the entire medium is used
for heat transfer. One advantage is the low space requirement,
relative to the heat transfer area.
The plate heat exchanger consists of several profi led plates.
Connecting the plates to each other results in two hermetically
separated tube channels. A cold tube channel and a hot tube
channel alternate in the arrangement. The narrow tube channels
produce turbulent fl ow.

Shell and tube heat exchangers are characterised by the large
heat transfer area and the compact structural shape.
The shell and tube heat exchanger consists of seven core
tubes, surrounded by a transparent jacket tube. The hot water
fl ows through the core tubes and the cold water fl ows through
the jacket tube. In doing so, the hot water emits some of its
thermal energy to the cold water. Using baffl e plates, the fl ow
in the inside of the shell is diverted in order to produce stronger
turbulence and more intensive convective heat transfer.
The media fl ow continuously in cross fl ow.
Many engineering processes use simple stirrer tanks. These are
often fi tted with a double jacket or a coiled tube for cooling or
heating. Stirring machines are used for better mixing of the tank
contents and for an even temperature distribution.
The jacketed vessel with stirrer and coil consists of a tank
surrounded by a jacket. In the tank is a coiled tube. In the heating
with jacket operating mode, the hot water fl ows through the
jacket and emits some of its thermal energy to the cold water in
the tank. In the heating with coiled tube operating mode, the hot
water fl ows through the coiled tube and heats the cold water in
the tank. A stirring machine can be used in all operating modes.
