ME0718 : TEMA Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger: Design Installation, Testing, Maintenance & Repair

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of TEMA Shell & Tube Heat Exchanger. It covers the basic principles and functions of shell and tube heat exchanger; the TEMA (tubular exchanger manufacturers association) classifications and the application of different TEMA types in industry; the heat exchanger components, heat transfer principles flow arrangements and safety and operational considerations; the installation procedures, inspection techniques, pressure testing procedures and safety precautions; the common defects of corrosion, erosion, fouling, and scaling; and the crack detection, documentation and reporting of defects. 

 

Further, the course will also discuss the maintenance schedule, predictive maintenance tools and technologies and cost-benefit analysis of preventive maintenance; the mechanical cleaning techniques and chemical cleaning processes; the tube cleaning tools and equipment; and maintaining tube bundle through proper removal and reinstallation procedures, inspection and repair of tube bundles and techniques for extending tube life. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the shell maintenance, internal and external cleaning, inspection and repair of shell components; the strategies for shell life extension and the causes and effects of fouling; the preventive measures and treatment options; monitoring fouling and maintaining efficiency; troubleshooting common issues, tube plugging and replacement, shell repairs, weld procedures, gasket replacement and flange maintenance; the heat exchanger performance, temperature and flow data; the detection of leaks, repairing leaks in tubes and shell and preventing future leaks; the emergency repairs, best practices in heat exchanger maintenance and continuous improvement strategies; the energy efficiency considerations, emerging technologies in maintenance and sustainability and environmental impact; and the maintenance risks, safety protocols, risk assessment and management tools.
