Process Design of Heat Exchangers

This course provides a practical understanding of the process design and engineering of heat exchangers used in process industries. Participants will learn the fundamentals of heat transfer and the role of heat exchangers in industrial process systems. The course covers different types of heat exchangers, their applications, and selection criteria. It explains process design calculations including heat duty, heat transfer area, temperature profiles, and overall heat transfer coefficient. Participants will understand the preparation and interpretation of heat exchanger process datasheets. The course introduces key design parameters such as fouling, pressure drop, fluid properties, and operating conditions. Practical approaches to thermal design and equipment sizing are discussed with relevant engineering considerations. Participants will also learn about material selection, design margins, and process requirements. The course provides an overview of commonly used industry standards and engineering practices for heat exchanger design. By the end of the course, participants will be able to understand and apply the basic process design methodology for heat exchangers in real-world engineering projects.
