Heat Exchangers : Types and Application , Design Operation & Maintenance
OBJECTIVES
- Types of heat exchangers
- Principles of heat transfer applied to different types
- Design of heat exchangers
- Industrial problem areas and solutions
- Improvement in heat exchanger efficiency
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
Project engineers, process engineers and plant engineers, mechanical engineers involved in design, operations, troubleshooting and maintenance, supervisors, technicians and technologists in the oil, chemical, power, and other industries who require a wider and deeper appreciation of heat exchanger design, performance and operation, coupled with the use of computers. The detailed review of mechanical design is particularly useful to plant and maintenance engineers as well as to those generally knowledgeable in the subject, but who 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 applicable to shell and tube heat exchangers.
