Introduction

Heat exchangers are important and expensive items of equipment that are used in a wide variety of industries. A better understanding of the basic principles of heat transfer and fluid flow and their application to the design and operation of shell and tube heat exchangers, as well as plate heat exchangers, air-cooled exchangers and other specialty heat exchangers that you gain from this course, will enable you to improve their effectiveness and extend their life.

The course provides an in-depth presentation of the main types of industrial heat exchangers, their key features and aspects, and provides practical guidelines for selecting the appropriate type for specific applications.

You will better understand how to use the applicable API, TEMA and ASME codes, standards and recommended practices. Discussions cover fabrication, materials of construction and costs of tubular units; condensers and reboilers; effect and mitigation of fouling; and causes and prevention of exchanger tubes vibration and damage.

The workshops include practical worked examples to reinforce the key learning.

Course Objectives 

The objectives of the course are:

  • To highlight the pivotal function and significance of heat exchangers in cost-effective plant operations

  • To provide a clear understanding of the fundamentals of heat transfer and hydraulics and fluid flow and their application in the thermal design of heat exchangers.

  • To provide methodologies for the mechanical design of heat exchangers in accordance with industry codes, standards and best practices, specifically ASME BPVC Section VIII, TEMA, and API 660, 661, and 662.

  • To make delegates aware of cost-effective technologies and best practices for improving performance of heat exchangers

Course Process 

The course is comprehensive and highly interactive. It combines structured and focused presentations and discussions of topics covered with actual relevant examples. It combines sound engineering principles, methods, and applicable codes & standards and best industry practices with workshops that cover worked examples to enforce the learning. To maximize learning, optional Question & Answer sessions are available at the end of each day to avail participants the opportunity to ask questions relating to topics discussed and specific heat exchanger problems they may experience.

All delegates will receive a complete set of all course presentations as well as detailed lecture notes which will provide an invaluable reference document.

Course Results
