Fluidisation & Fluid Bed Heat Transfer

FLUIDISATION & FLUID BED HEAT TRANSFER UNIT

• Fluid Bed Heat Transfer Unit designed to provide visual and quantitative results related to the flow of air through both a packed and fluidized bed of granular material.
  
• Measurement of air flow and pressure drop through a variety of granular materials, as packed and as fluidized beds.
  
• Investigation of the effect of distributor design on bed behavior.
  
• Investigation of the effect of  Superficial velocity, Depth of immersion , Particle size on the surface heat transfer coefficient for a hot surface in a fluidized bed. 
  
• Demonstration of separation by particle size and density.
  
• A suitable compressor.
  
• Electronic Control to adjust the heater power input. 
  
• Digital Wattmeter to indicate the heater power input. 
  
• Range 0 to 1000W (Heater power nominally 400W) Flow Meters to measure air flow through bed.
  
• Digital Thermometer to indicate the temperatures of heater surface, air inlet and probe. Manometer to measure pressure drop through bed. 
  
• 220-240 Volts, Single Phase, 60Hz 
  
• Unit complete with all required accessories.
