Courses

Fundamentals of Heat Exchanger Technology Short Course

Instructors: Kevin J. Farrell and Joseph W. Holmes
Date: October 16, 2012
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$600

Focusing on the principles of heat exchanger technology provides a framework for practicing engineers to gain information and understand the latest methods of heat exchanger operations. By combining state-of-the-art heat exchanger design technology with practical plant applications, this course gives novice and occasional designers guidelines to evaluate heat exchanger operation and performance. 

Key Topics

  • Basic heat transfer principles
  • Heat exchanger geometries
  • Design methods
  • Overview of maintenance, repair, and troubleshooting
  • Two-phase pressure drop calculations
  • Rules-of-thumb
  • Standards and specification 

Suggested Participants

Novice heat exchanger designers and engineers who are occasionally responsible for reviewing heat exchanger design and performance

Xist Workshop

Instructor: Joseph W. Holmes
Date: October 17, 2012
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$400

Even if your work is limited to shell-and-tube heat exchangers, there’s much to be learned! This workshop is devoted to the geometries handled only by Xist.

The day focuses on the extensive options available in Xist and how you can use these methods effectively to solve several example problems. You’ll leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.

Key Topics

  • Overview of Xist capabilities and applications
  • Geometry input for shell-and-tube heat exchangers
  • Process specifications for rating,simulation, and design
  • Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
  • Introduction to HTRI analysis methods

Suggested Participants

Designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance

Vibration Analysis Workshop

Instructor: Kevin J. Farrell
Date: October 18, 2012
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$400

A must for anyone who evaluates the vibration potential of shell-and-tube heat exchangers! In this course, you learn about vibration mechanisms in shell-and-tube heat exchangers and Xist methods to analyze vibration severity. Most importantly, you discover corrective measures to mitigate damage.

Key Topics

  • Introduction to vibration phenomena
  • Flow-induced vibration (fluidelastic instability, vortex shedding, turbulent buffeting, acoustic vibration)
  • Design options to mitigate vibration
  • Field fixes
  • Xist Vibration Report
  • Example application and case studies

Suggested Participants

Design and plant engineers responsible for the mechanical condition of shell-and-tube heat exchangers

Xace Workshop

Instructors: Kevin J. Farrell and Joseph W. Holmes 
Date: October 19, 2012
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$400

Do you design only air-cooled heat exchangers? Evaluate their performance? Then this workshop is for you. Unlike the Xchanger Suite workshops, this course focuses on air-cooler geometry.

Learn how to use Xace effectively to rate and design air-cooled heat exchangers, economizers, and air preheaters. All example problems and practice exercises relate to real-world applications. 

Key Topics

  • Overview of Xace capabilities and applications
  • Geometry inputs for air coolers and economizers
  • Process specifications forrating, simulation, and design
  • Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
  • Introduction to HTRI analysis methods 

Suggested Participants

Designers of air-cooled heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance

Instructors

Kevin J. Farrell, Director, Research, graduated from Pennsylvania State University, State College, Pennsylvania, USA, with his BS, MS, and PhD in Mechanical Engineering. His areas of expertise include fluid dynamics, vibration, and thermal engineering. His responsibilities at HTRI focus on flow-induced vibration, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), visualization studies, and fired heaters. Prior to joining HTRI, he worked for 16 years as a researcher and deputy head of the Fluid Machinery Department of the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Pennsylvania State University. A member of ASME and ISA, Farrell is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Pennsylvania and Texas, USA.

Joseph W. Holmes, Principal, H2 Integration, holds BS and MS degrees in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas (TX), USA. Holmes brings to this position more than 30 years of software development experience. Prior to focusing on the integration of products obtained via our alliance with Honeywell, he served as the project manager for HTRI Xchanger Suite and its components. He has assisted in the development and updating of several HTRI workshops and is a knowledgeable, experienced HTRI workshop instructor, having conducted numerous courses for HTRI members. Before joining HTRI, Holmes worked for Bryan Research and Engineering, Bryan, TX, as a process research and development engineer. Holmes is a member of AIChE and a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Texas.

Event Registration Policies

An “event” is any series of HTRI sessions including training, conferences, or other official sessions occurring on one or more consecutive business days. These policies are subject to change without notice.

Registration Deadline
The registration deadline for all HTRI events is five business days prior to the event. Specific deadlines for each event are listed on the HTRI website.*

Onsite Registration
We regret that we are unable to accommodate onsite registration for events. All registrations must be made at least five days prior to the date of the event. Registrants already attending an event and wishing to attend another session during the same event may register onsite if space is available.*

Early Registration Discount
Registrants are eligible for a discounted fee on certain sessions when registering at least 60 calendar days prior to the event AND paying by credit card. Early registration discounts are not available for wire transfers or other forms of payment. Availability of discounts is noted on the HTRI website.

HTRI Cancellation or Postponement
If HTRI cancels or postpones an event for any reason, registrants may choose one of the following options:

Registrant Cancellation/Late Cancellation/No Show
Registrants who cancel their registration in writing at least 30 days prior to an event are eligible for a full refund of the registration fee or may apply their registration fee to another HTRI session or event occurring within 12 months of the date of the original event.

If written notice of cancellation is received less than 30 calendar days but more than five business days prior to the event, a US$50 cancellation fee will be deducted from any requested refund. Alternatively, you may choose to apply your fee to another HTRI event occurring within 12 months of the date of the original event with no penalty.

Registrants who cancel their registration in writing less than five business days prior to an event or who are not present on the day of the event are not eligible for a refund. However, if another session is occurring at the same event, the registrant may attend that event instead, provided that space is still available.

Registrants who fail to show up without providing written notice prior to the start time of the event are not eligible for a refund or to receive credit toward a different session or event.

Late Arrivals/Early Departures
Registrants may arrive late to an event, though you may not be immediately seated if doing so would unduly disrupt the event in progress. Partial refunds will not be granted for registrants who do not attend an entire session or event.

Substitutions
Registrants may transfer their registration to another person at any time up to five business days prior to the event. After that, we regretfully are unable to accommodate substitutions unless the transfer is to a person already attending a different session at the same event.*

*This policy is necessary to provide us with sufficient time to comply with U.S. Federal export law. HTRI is required to compare registrant names against several lists of sanctioned countries and persons.
