Session targeted for audience in Asia (April 12, 2023 at 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM India Standard Time, 10:30 AM – 11:30 AM China Standard Time, 11:30 AM – 12:30 PM Japan Standard Time).

If you're new to Xvib, or simply need a refresher, this webinar will help you. The webinar provides an overview of how Xvib works so that you can use it to analyze the vibration potential—both fluidelastic instability and vortex shedding amplitude—of a specific tube in the bundle of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger. In this webinar, we will describe Xvib input and output reports, demonstrate how to build an Xvib case including the export feature available in Xist, and discuss the differences between Xvib's finite element approach and Xist's vibration screening analysis. 

Registration deadline: April 07, 2023 (11:59 PM US Central Time)

Registrants will receive an email containing instructions on how to access the online course and optional, live Q&A sessions. The email will be distributed at least (2) business days prior to start of the four-day access period. Instructor-led Q&A sessions are hosted in Microsoft® Teams®. Xfh® Ultra examples are used to complete case study exercises. If a registrant does not have access to HTRI software through a member company, HTRI will provide a temporary license for use during the event. All training materials are based on the current version of Xfh® Ultra.

Description

This workshop is an introduction to modeling the performance of process fired heaters using Xfh Ultra. Starting with a brief review of fundamental concepts, attendees will then use an API 560 Specification Sheet of a proposed fired heater design to develop a complete fired heater model in Xfh Ultra and rate the heater’s performance.

Key Topics

  • Process fired heater fundamentals
  • Xfh Ultra capabilities and applications
  • Heuristic approach to model development in Xfh Ultra
  • Fluid definitions, process specification, and geometry inputs
  • Practical guidelines for interpreting Xfh Ultra output reports and measures of performance

Suggested Participants

Engineers with or without prior knowledge of fired heater design, who rate the performance of process fired heaters

HTRI Software

This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xfh® Ultra

Course Fee: US$450


May 16 - 18, 2023
Early Registration Deadline: April 18, 2023
Registration Deadline: May 01, 2023

Join us at the HTRI Global Headquarters in Navasota, Texas, USA, for three days of hands-on, case-based training. Register for one course or all three! Take advantage of this opportunity to improve your understanding of HTRI Xchanger Suite software.

The training schedule includes three courses, all taught by HTRI experts:

  • Xace Workshop
  • Xist Workshop
  • Vibration Analysis Short Course

Date:
June 07, 2023
Time:
9:00 AM CDT (UTC -05:00)

Fixed tubesheet heat exchangers are often designed with expansion joints to handle the differential thermal growth between the tubes and the shell. Learn how to use Exchanger Optimizer 6.1.8 to

  • specify operating metal temperatures and evaluate the cost impact of adding a flanged and flued or bellows expansion joint
  • modify designs to eliminate the need for expansion joints, resulting in more economical configurations
