Part 3 – Mechanical design
- Overview and highlights of TEMA Code and Mechanical design
- Mechanical design of components – tube sheet, baffles, bonnet/shell cover
Part 4 – Operations and control:
- Operation of PHE and other types of Heat Exchangers
- Process control of heat exchangers and evaporators
- Maintenance of Heat - exchangers
Who Should Attend
- The course is recommended for engineers (Chemical/Mechanical) interested in overview of different types of heat transfer equipments including PHE.
- The course would help participants to widen and/or gain better insight into selection of type of Heat Exchangers vis-à-vis application. Persons engaged in operations of Chemical / Petrochemical plant, refinery could look forward to gaining further insight into operational and control aspects of Heat Transfer equipment.
