Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. The design, performance and operation of modern heat exchangers require an understanding of the principles of heat transfer and fluid flow, coupled with access to numerically based techniques and supporting data. This course will review heat transfer fundamentals as applied to tubular and plate devices. Included will be sessions on the practical aspects of shell and tube heat exchanger design with ASME and TEMA codes. Upon completion of this course, delegates will gain an understanding of the basic principles of heat transfer and fluid flow and their application to the design, operation and maintenance of shell and tube heat exchangers as well as compact and air cooled heat exchangers. Participants will gain an understanding of TEMA and ASME codes and learn how to numerically analyze the different heat exchanger configurations. Attention will be paid to the recognition and solving of a wide variety of industrial problems, taking existing case studies.The course will also address the ways in which systematic techniques of inspection and maintenance (including Fouling Control) can alleviate major problem areas. Further, the course will explain the Energy Balance in Heat Exchangers and discuss the new technologies of Heat Transfer and heat exchanger within the industry. There will be troubleshooting workshops devoted to the discussion of regularly occurring heat exchanger problems, performance assessment and methods to improve the overall thermal efficiencies of these devices. The course will also cover current methods of inspection and maintenance.
