"Reviewed and approved by the AIChE Education Services Committee in 2005" You Should Attend If: You require a working knowledge of recent developments in heat exchanger technology and in the diagnosis and correction of operating problems. This course is ideal for chemical and mechanical engineers who are engaged in plant operations, technical services, and project design; or with assignments involving heat exchanger sizing, specification, or operation. You Can Expect To: - Examine in detail shell-and-tube heat exchanger technology—with practical tips on how to minimize fouling and improve chances of trouble-free operation.
- Cover other types of exchangers, including gasketed plate, spiral plate, and aircooled equipment.
- Gain a better understanding of the thermal design of shell-and-tube heaters, coolers, column reboilers, and condensers.
- Learn how to troubleshoot, diagnose, and correct operating problems, particularly distillation column reboilers and condensers.
