Training Overview

Training Overview

This TEMA Heat Exchangers and Advanced Technologies training course offers a comprehensive, hands-on overview of the major advanced heat exchanger technologies currently in use worldwide. It explores the advantages and disadvantages of various heat exchanger types, supported by practical real-world examples. This intensive, interactive course strikes a balance between theory and practical application, incorporating carefully chosen case studies.

While heat exchangers are designed to operate efficiently, real-world conditions—such as changes in process technology and emission regulations—can lead to issues like excessive fouling, high pressure drops, and tube vibration. These challenges may result in costly capital expenditures (CAPEX) for replacements. What might seem like an initial cost-saving choice in design can ultimately lead to higher operational and maintenance costs (OPEX) in the long run.

This training course will feature:

  • Selection of Heat Exchanger Type
  • Advanced Heat Exchanger Technologies
  • Fouling Mitigation Technologies
  • Operation and Control Strategies
  • Efficient Maintenance Management
