Description
This 90-minute accredited online training provides an overview of the equipment used for the transfer of heat energy in the process industries,
including that used in chemical plants, refineries, conventional power plants and cogeneration facilities. The transformation of the basic heat
balance into a T-Q curve and the resulting zone analysis to produce an effective design is covered. Selection of the appropriate TEMA
designation, as well as economic and environmental considerations will be addressed. The seminar will conclude with a discussion of the
techniques, such as Pinch Technology, in developing a heat exchanger network.
