Product Description

The ‘Swarg Systems & Instruments’ apparatus enables the students to study the interesting phenomenon of heat pipe & to compare its performance with other pipes. The apparatus consists of a heat pipe made up of stainless steel, evacuated and partially filled with distilled water, a copper pipe and stainless steel pipe of same sizes. The pipes are heated at one end and water tank is provided at the other end of the pipe to take out the heat. Thermocouples are provided along the length of pipes so that nearly isothermal operation of heat pipe as compared to other conductors can be demonstrated. Rapid rise of water temperature in the tank around heat pipe demonstrates super conductivity of heat pipe as compared to copper pipe as good conductor of heat and to stainless steel pipe as same material of construction.

SPECIFICATIONS:

1) Heat Pipe – Stainless steel pipe size 25 mm. dia. 300 mm. long, with both side closed, evacuated and filled with distilled water along with fine stainless steel mesh inside the wall.

2) Copper pipe-25mm O.D. and 300 mm long.

3) Stainless steel pipe – 25 mm. O. D. and 300 mm long.

All the pipes are positioned vertical with lower end heated by band heater and upper end surrounded by water. All the pipes are provided with five thermocouples along the length.

4) A common dimmer stat, 4 A capacity is provided to supply equal voltage to all the heaters.

5) Digital temperature indicator to measure temperature along the length of pipes.

6) A thermometer is provided to measure the temperatures of water in the tank.

A technical manual accompanies the unit.

The unit provided with and attractive & rust proof powder coating.
