Project Description
Why attend
Upon completion of this course, participants 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. Delegates will understand of TEMA and ASME codes and learn how to mathematically analyze the different heat exchanger arrangements. 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 can lessen major problem areas.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
Design, operate, inspect, maintain and repair heat exchangers and scrutinize 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 numerous types of heat exchangers and learn more of their industrial characteristics and other relevant information.
Discuss the industrial features and other information that explain distributed types in relation to power cycles, distillation, recuperators and regenerators.
Carryout heat exchanger analysis for counter flow, cross flow and multipass heat exchangers and to apply the well-known correction factors
Conduct a heat energy balance for different types of counter flow heat exchangers.
