Heat Exchanger Design, Operation, Performance, Inspection, Maintenance & Repair
Course Description
A heat exchanger is a device in which energy is transferred from one fluid to another across a solid surface. Heat Exchangers (HEs) are used extensively and regularly in process and allied industries and are very important during design and operation. Heat exchangers usually involve complex flow paths, with varying flows through different parts of the exchanger. With various design variables such as outer diameter, pitch, and length of the tubes; tube passes; baffle spacing; baffle cut etc. Hence the design engineer needs an efficient strategy in searching for the global minimum Participants attending the Enhancing Leadership Presence training course will develop the following competencies: • understanding the different types of heat exchanger and its application • know how to classify the heat exchangers • Building good idea how to operate the heat exchanger • Understand how to maintenance the heat exchanger and define the troubleshooting

The heat exchanger course training course covers essential skills such as:

  • Definition of heat exchanger inspection Monitoring, Fault Diagnostics and Failure
  • Heat exchanger Maintenance Strategies and their application (pros and cons)
  • Principles of repair and tube plug or change
  • Predictive Maintenance
  • Various Techniques of testing
  • Performance Analysis and control
