• Classification of heat exchangers
• Selection of heat exchangers
• Heat Exchanger Thermodynamic Fundamentals

Overview

---

With increasing equipment costs and limited availability of industrial plant real estate, compact heat exchangers are gaining a large portion of the heat exchange market. These are characterized by high heat transfer surface area to volume ratios, as well as high heat transfer coefficients compared to other exchanger types.

A plate heat exchanger is a type of compact heat exchanger that uses metal plates to transfer heat between two fluids. First invented in 1923 for dairy applications, plate heat exchangers have numerous configurations. Industrial standards are enforced through API, TEMA and ISO standards, among others.

In this webinar, we will examine key concepts of plate heat exchanger design, rating, sizing and testing. You will learn concepts of fouling, pressure drop, spiral plate heat exchangers, quality control and non- destructive testing.

This webinar serves a dual purpose, both as a continuing education refresher course for experienced engineers and as an introduction for those with little knowledge in this area.
