• For those engineers, this course will provide a broad understanding of the technology and an excellent base for further learning.
• For those responsible for thermal design, TEMA type selection the training is intended to illustrate the interaction between the thermal and mechanical design, the understanding of which will lead to more reliable design outcomes
• For those coming from an operating environment, the course will lead to a greater knowledge of the maintenance, inspection and repair needs of shell and tube heat exchangers, including information on common causes of failure. Solutions will be offered using latest “state of art” technologies are used to prevent fouling, tube vibration and throughput limitations.
