COURSE OVERVIEW

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.
