Why Choose this Training Course?

Why Choose this Training Course?

This Heat Exchangers and Heat Transfer Equipment training course will provide an overview of technical aspects of heat exchangers and other heat transfer equipment as encountered in various industrial applications. Of special interest will be various designs of evaporators and reboilers as well as condensers associated with cooling towers. The training course will also cover specifics of process heaters and industrial boilers, their operation and control.

For all these types of heat transfer equipment, basic elements of the thermal and mechanical design will be presented and explained. The focus will be on potential problems in operation, equipment inspection and maintenance methods. Numerous practical examples related to selection and sizing of these equipment will be solved and discussed to illustrate practical methods as encountered in everyday engineering practice.

The training course will highlight:

  • Importance of proper selection of heat exchanger for the given application
  • Principles based on Codes for safe operation of thermal process equipment
  • Methods of analyzing the thermal efficiency of important equipment
  • Equipment Inspection (NDT) and Fitness for Service (FFS) procedures
