The Center for Professional Advancement, 90 Minute Accredited Online Training
October 29, 2009 at 11:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. (ET)
Who Should Attend
This online training will benefit professionals in the following industries: Refining, Chemical and Fuels Processing, Alternative and Renewable Energy Production Industries, and industry/academia/government heat integration programs and initiatives.
Job functions that would benefit from the online training include: Process Engineers, Fuel and Energy Specialists, Process Energy Auditors, Process and Technical Services Managers, Plant Engineers and Operations, and Technicians.
In departments such as: Research and Development, Commercial Development, Process Evaluation and Design, Manufacturing and Operations. Description
This 90-minute accredited online training provides an overview of the equipment used for the transfer of heat energy in the process industries, including that used in chemical plants, refineries, conventional power plants and cogeneration facilities. The transformation of the basic heat balance into a T-Q curve and the resulting zone analysis to produce an effective design is covered. Selection of the appropriate TEMA designation, as well as economic and environmental considerations will be addressed. The seminar will conclude with a discussion of the techniques, such as Pinch Technology, in developing a heat exchanger network.
Module 1:
• Energy Balance
– Heat and cooling requirements in a typical chemical plant
and refinery
– Indirect or direct heat transfer
• Various types of heat exchangers
– Mechanical design and process arrangement
– Key vendors and producers
– Tubular Exchanger Manufacturers Association (TEMA)
designations
Module 2:
• Designing a heat exchanger
– Representing the energy balance on a T-Q diagram
– Flow patterns in a shell and tube (S-T) heat exchanger
– Theoretical temperature driving force and correction
factors
• Heat transfer coefficients
– Individual film coefficients
– Fouling
– Composing an overall heat transfer coefficient
• Tubes and required surface area
– Number of tubes
– Tube pitch
Module 3:
• Assessing the performance of a heat exchanger
– Value of energy transferred
– Capital cost of the heat exchanger
– Economic performance
• Economic sensitivity
– Leveraging issues, such as the level of energy
transferred
– Fouling, cleaning and sparing philosophy
• Future of heat exchanger design
– New technology
– Breakthrough design options
