Introduction To Heat Exchangers

Introduction To Heat Exchangers

You will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each heat exchanger.

Overview

In this course you will learn about the shell and tube, and plate type heat exchanger. You will learn about the design, components and categorisations of each common type of heat exchanger. You will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each heat exchanger.



By the end of the course you will be able to:



Identify the different types of common heat exchanger
Know the pros and cons of each heat exchanger type
Identify single and multi-pass heat exchanger types
Identify regenerative and non-regenerative heat exchanger systems
Identify cross, parallel and counter flow designs
Know the terminology for both the shell and tube, and the plate type heat exchanger
Know common reasons for heat exchanger failure and fouling.


The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning heat exchanger knowledge. Even if you already have some background engineering knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher.

Four examples are given to show how heat exchangers work in the real world.

We use interactive 3D models throughout the course to aid understanding.



Enjoy the course!

A short course is a learning programme that gives you combined content or specific skills training in a short period of time. Short courses often lean towards the more practical side of things and have less theory than a university course – this gives you a more hands-on experience within your field of interest.
