Heat exchangers are vital components in energy-intensive industries such as power generation, oil & gas, chemical processing, and HVAC. Their performance directly impacts process efficiency, safety, and equipment longevity. This training course provides a comprehensive overview of the types, working principles, design considerations, operational behaviour, and maintenance practices of industrial heat exchangers.

Focusing on widely used designs—including shell-and-tube (STHE), air-cooled (ACHE), and plate heat exchangers (PHE)—this course equips engineers, technicians, and plant professionals with the knowledge to select, operate, inspect, and troubleshoot heat exchangers effectively. Special attention is given to thermal and hydraulic design, international standards, fouling mitigation, mechanical integrity, and performance optimisation.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Identify and compare the major types of heat exchangers and their industrial applications
Understand the principles of heat transfer and their influence on exchanger design
Apply key design parameters to size and evaluate thermal and hydraulic performance
Diagnose operational issues such as fouling, corrosion, and vibration
Conduct inspections and apply effective maintenance and cleaning techniques
Use performance monitoring tools to assess and enhance exchanger efficiency
Apply international standards and best practices in exchanger design and operation

This course is ideal for:

Maintenance and reliability engineers
Mechanical and process engineers
Inspection and QA/QC personnel
Operations supervisors and plant operators
Engineering consultants and technical managers
Anyone involved in design, operation, or troubleshooting of thermal systems

The course follows a workshop-based approach that combines technical presentations, real-world case studies, calculation examples, and interactive problem-solving exercises. Practical scenarios are used to reinforce understanding, and participants are encouraged to bring operational challenges for group discussion and expert feedback.

Day 5 of each course is reserved for a Q&A session, which may occur off-site. For 10-day courses, this also applies to day 10
