Fundamentals of Design and Rating of Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers

This training course combines Heat Exchanger Design domain practice with application of AspenTech solutions. Students will learn fundamentals of heat exchanger design and rating with real world examples, and about process data required for heat exchanger design and analysis. We will also discuss general recommendations for heat exchanger types and configurations, including design characteristics and performance.

Audience:

  • Intended for Staff Process Engineers: 0-8 years of experience
  • Thermal and process heat exchanger design professionals wishing to enhance their understanding of thermal design and simulation
  • New engineers wishing to gain experience in heat transfer and heat exchanger design
