Advanced Heat Exchanger Design, Inspection and Troubleshooting
Details
The design, performance and operation of modern heat exchangers requires 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.
Upon completion of this course, delegates will have gained an understanding of the application of basic principles of heat transfer and fluid flow 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.

Outline
The course is developed for project engineers, process engineers, plant and maintenance engineers and supervisors in the oil, chemical and other process industries who require a wider and deeper appreciation of heat exchanger design, performance, inspection, maintenance and operation. It should also prove useful to those generally knowledgeable on the subject, but who may require a refresher or update. No prior knowledge of heat transfer is required. Participants will be taken through an intensive primer of heat transfer principles as they apply to shell and tube heat exchangers.
Upon the successful completion of this course, each participant will be able to:
- Design, inspect, maintain and operate heat exchangers and analyse their performance in a professional manner
- Employ the concepts of heat transfer coefficients and determine their overall effect on heat exchanger fouling
- Differentiate between the various types of heat exchangers
- Discuss the industrial features and other information that explain distributed types in relation to power cycles, distillation, re-cuperators and regenerators
- Carry out heat exchanger analysis for counter flow, cross flow and multi-pass heat exchangers and to apply the relevant correction factors
- Conduct a heat energy balance for different types of heat exchangers
- Choose the correct heat exchanger for a given application and its costing in line with the advantages and disadvantages of its type and scope of its applications
- Determine the cooling performance of a range of heat exchangers and establish insights on the effectiveness/ NTU method for heat exchanger analysis in terms of heat capacity ratios
- Interpret TEMA standards and terminologies for present-day shell and tube heat exchangers
