Heat Exchangers: Types & Application, Design, Operation & Maintenance
This course will familiarize engineers and technicians with various codes and standards and best practices used for design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of heat exchangers. The emphasis in course will be on the best practices for efficient operation, inspection, maintenance and repair of widely used types of heat exchangers: shell and tube, air-cooled, plate compact types. Several workshops will be included with case studies and real examples from engineering practice that will enable the analysis of the root causes as a prerequisite for effective troubleshooting process.
At the end of this course participants will be able to:
- Understand design guidelines and specifications.
- Analyze exchanger thermal and hydraulic operational parameters.
- Determine the correct selection criteria for sizing of heat exchangers.
- Identify the problems in operation that lead to performance deterioration.
- Determine correct troubleshooting techniques
- Maintenance Professionals.
- Inspection Personnel.
- Process Supervisors.
- Plant Operators.
- Plant/Technical Managers.
