About the HETAOE Program
Heat exchangers decide how much energy a plant recovers and how often units come down for cleaning. This program covers exchanger types and where each one fits, thermal and hydraulic design basics, operating practice, fouling control, inspection and repair. Delivered in-house at the client's premises or live virtual, participants finish able to select the right exchanger for a duty, read a datasheet with confidence and keep units performing between turnarounds.
What You Will Learn
- Understand shell and tube exchanger construction and terminology
- Select exchanger types to suit process duty
- Apply thermal design principles to heat transfer duties
- Calculate heat duty, effectiveness and pressure drop
- Evaluate fouling causes and their effect on performance
- Plan cleaning, inspection and repair activities
- Monitor exchanger performance against design conditions
- Diagnose common operating problems in exchanger networks
