Instructor: Andrew J. Mountford
Date: Monday, March 11, 2013
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$400Do 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 for rating, 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
Instructor: Hans U. Zettler
Date: Tuesday, March 12, 2013
Time: 09:00 - 17:00
Fee: US$400Even if your work is limited to shell-and-tube heat exchangers, there is 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 will leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.

Fee: US$400A 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
Suggested Participants

David J. Evans, Manager, Technical Support, joined HTRI after working for ten years at AspenTech UK Ltd, first as Senior Technical Support Engineer and more recently as Customer Support Manager, UK. Prior to that, he worked as a Software Developer with AEA Technology Plc. for over ten years, and as a Project and Process Engineer with Steetley Engineering Ltd. A Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Chartered Information Technology Professional (CITP), Evans earned two BSc degrees, one in Chemical Engineering from University of Birmingham, Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom (UK), and the other in Computer Science from the Wolverhampton Polytechnic (now University of Wolverhampton), Wolverhampton, UK. Evans coordinates technical support and provides training worldwide, focusing on EMEA. His education, combined with over 30 years of experience in heat transfer and process simulation, gives him a broad-based skill set for his role at HTRI. He is actively involved in the UK Heat Transfer Society as a Trustee and Committee Member.
Andrew J. Mountford provides technical support and training for HTRI. He earned a BSc and MSc in Chemistry and a PhD in Organometallic and Materials Chemistry from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. During his tenure there, he conducted research at Wolfson Laboratory for Materials and Catalysis. He previously held the position of Thermal Design Supervisor at Tecnicas Reunidas in Madrid, Spain, gaining valuable experience using HTRI methods and software. Mountford oversaw the development of several high-profile PWR and BWR nuclear plant projects, as well as gained valuable experience in the thermohydraulic design of heat transfer equipment for the petrochemical and nitric acid/nitrates industries. His experience in using HTRI Xchanger Suite makes him uniquely qualified to bring an end user’s perspective to the HTRI training program and to share techniques for effectively working with the software.
Hans U. Zettler, Director of Sales, EMEA, joined HTRI while completing his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Surrey, UK. His doctoral work focused on fouling and design of compact heat exchangers. He also possesses a mechanical engineering degree (Dipl.-Ing.) from the Technical University Karlsruhe, Germany. Zettler completed multiple internships in industry throughout Europe while pursuing his education. He is a member of the German Engineering Society (VDI), a member of the VDI-GVC Working Party on Heat and Mass Transfer, an associate member of the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE), and a committee member of the Heat Transfer Society (HTS) in the UK.

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.
