Heat Exchanger Inspection and Cleaning Techniques
Course Description
A heat exchanger is a component that allows the transfer of heat from one fluid (liquid or gas) to another fluid. Reasons for heat transfer include the following: • To heat a cooler fluid by means of a hotter fluid • To reduce the temperature of hot fluid by means of a cooler fluid • To boil a liquid by means of a hotter fluid • To condense a gaseous fluid by means of a cooler fluid • To boil a liquid while condensing a hotter gaseous fluid

This course is recommended for anyone involved with the selection, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting of Heat Exchangers. Such as Mechanical Maintenance Engineers, Under Development Engineers, Mechanical Maintenance Supervisors &Technicians and Operation Engineer
