About this Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) 

The design, performance and operation of modern heat exchangers requires an understanding of the principles of heat transfer and fluid flow, coupled with access to numerically based techniques and supporting data. This Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) course will review heat transfer fundamentals as applied to tubular and plate devices. Upon completion of this VILT course, participants will have gained an understanding of the application of basic principles of heat transfer and fluid flow to the design, operation and maintenance of shell and tube heat exchangers as well as compact and air-cooled heat exchangers. Participants will gain an understanding of TEMA and ASME codes and learn how to numerically analyze the different heat exchanger configurations. Attention will be paid to the recognition and solving of a wide variety of industrial problems, taking existing case studies. The VILT course will also address the ways in which systematic techniques of inspection and maintenance (including Fouling Control) can alleviate major problem areas.
