Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

A heat exchanger is a vital component used to transfer heat between two fluids—either liquids or gases—for various industrial applications. The key purposes of heat exchangers include:

  • Heating a cooler fluid using a hotter fluid
  • Cooling down a hot fluid using a cooler fluid
  • Boiling a liquid with a hotter fluid
  • Condensing a gaseous fluid with a cooler fluid
  • Simultaneous boiling of a liquid while condensing a hotter gaseous fluid

This course provides in-depth training on heat exchanger operation, maintenance, troubleshooting, and cleaning techniques to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
  • Understand heat exchanger classifications and their working principles
  •  Learn various heat transfer methods and factors affecting heat transfer efficiency
  •  Gain knowledge on heat exchanger selection and performance optimization
  •  Explore best practices for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning techniques
  • Develop troubleshooting skills to identify and resolve common heat exchanger problems
