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. A shell and tube heat exchanger is the most common type of heat exchangers in the petroleum and petrochemical refineries. It consists of a shell (a large pressure vessel) with a bundle of tubes inside it. One fluid runs through the tubes, and another fluid flows over the tubes (through the shell) to transfer heat between the two fluids. One of the big advantages of using a shell and tube heat exchanger is that they are often easy to service, particularly with models where a floating tube bundle (where the tube plates are not welded to the outer shell) is available. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of the design, applications and maintenance of advanced shell and tube industrial heat exchangers. It covers the various heat exchanger concepts and terminologies including their significance, functions and applications; the design and operation of heat exchangers; the overall heat transfer coefficients and specific considerations applicable to condensers, evaporators, etc; the design tube rules; the TEMA code, mechanical design, ASME Sec. VIII and UHX rules; and the fouling effect, prediction and techniques of control.
