TEMA & HTRI - Heat Exchanger Design & Cost Saving Management

Trusted by Leading Companies

Our training programs are promoted to engineers, supervisors, and technical teams across the globe, supporting their continuous development and operational competency.

About Training

This training course is a comprehensive course to the technology of shell and tube heat exchangers as these robust type of heat exchangers are the most commonly used in the process and refinery industries, where they provide flexibility and are easy to maintain.

The course will provide details on the thermal and mechanical design, fabrication, inspection and maintenance in relation with international standards as TEMA, API and ISO. For this heat exchanger type we focus on the mechanical and practical aspects.

Many case studies will be presented to show failures, mismatches. The thermal and mechanical design is conducted using sophisticated computer software and this course is intended to complement thermal design training based on HTRI software. Attendees will be offered problem case studies in order to reach solutions on their own.

To get a full picture of proven (advanced) heat transfer technologies a basic training module for other types of heat exchangers is included. Besides aircooled we discuss compact heat exchangers in more detail with all their pro’s and con’s.

Delegates need to bring Calculator and Laptop with Microsoft Excel installed and Microsoft as the operating system

Training Objectives

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.
