About this course
Heat Exchangers Design, Operation and Maintenance gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of heat transfer fundamentals and TEMA types and design, then builds the skills to apply performance monitoring and fouling, inspection and cleaning and repair and retubing in real work. Mechanical engineering courses on rotating and static equipment, codes, welding and inspection for plant engineers and technicians.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
