An Experimental Setup for the Performance Monitoring of Heat Exchanger using Internet of Things (IoT)

An Internet of Things (IoT) is an intelligent approach to connect devices or components to internet and monitor the status of the device from remote places. In recent days, many industries connect their equipment's with internet and monitor status of the same regularly that can help in predicting the failure of the components at the early stage. An IoT platform helps in predictive maintenance by integrating different machines and manufacturing units to internet. The present paper focuses on integrating the heat exchanger with internet through Node MCU microcontroller, temperature and flow rate sensor. An IoT system described in this study is capable of monitoring the input and output data from the remote place through web server running in cloud.
