Course Overview

This Heat Exchangers training course will present the technical and operational features of Heat Exchangers of various designs (shell-and tube (STHE), air-cooled (ACHE), plate (PHE) that play a vital role in thermal power plants and petrochemical and process industries. It has been realized that Engineers of diverse backgrounds and expertise need to develop a sound understanding of fundamental principles and interrelationship between various parameters that govern the well designed and operated heat exchangers.

This Heat Exchangers training course will familiarise 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.

This COPEX training course will feature:

  • Heat Exchangers Design Characteristics
  • Understanding of Heat Transfer principles
  • International Codes and Standards for fabrication, operation and maintenance
  • Problems in operation: Fouling and performance monitoring
  • Inspection of corrosion, erosion and structural integrity

Training Objectives

By the end of this COPEX training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand design guidelines and specifications
  • Analyse 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

Training Methodology

This training course will be conducted along the workshop principles, with formal lectures, case studies and interactive worked examples. Relevant case studies and practical exercises will be provided to illustrate the application of main learning points presented in the lectures. There will be ample opportunities for discussion and sharing experience to ensure maximum understanding of material. The goals of each participant will be discussed to ensure fulfilling of their needs and fining the solutions to their specific problems.

Who should Attend?
