HTRI Training - China

Check-in begins at 7:30 AM. Courses run from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily.

Course fees include arrival tea/coffee, lunches and snacks at breaks and training materials (workbooks, solutions booklets, and electronic copies of the case files). Computers with Xchanger Suite are available for use during the training event. Computers may be shared with other attendees.

Xist Workshop  (US$450)

Instructors: LiDong Huang and Kevin Farrell

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 will 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 vibration analysis

Suggested Participants

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

Two-phase Flow Short Course  (US$650)

Instructors: LiDong Huang and Kevin Farrell

Using an application-oriented approach, we explain the fundamentals of two-phase flow and work through some key models useful for engineering analyses. Wherever possible, videos will illustrate two-phase phenomena. Sample problems reinforce the implications of two-phase modeling assumptions. At the end of the course, you will have a set of tools and recommendations to help you with your day-to-day engineering challenges. The integration of HTRI research experiences and findings make this course unique and relevant to the process industry.

Key Topics

• Tubeside and shellside flow regimes, and their dependence on geometry (e.g., pipe size, inclination, baffle spacing)
• Static, frictional, and momentum pressure drop: basics and important correlations
• The impact of service type (boiling, condensation, adiabatic) on two-phase distribution and pressure drop

Suggested Participants

Engineers who work in two-phase heat exchanger or process piping applications

Heat Exchanger Design and Costing Short Course  (US$650)

Instructors: LiDong Huang and Kevin Farrell

If you design, specify, or troubleshoot heat exchangers, then this course is for you! Focused on issues that EPCs and processors face, this short course will discuss the importance of heat exchanger economics and use Exchanger Optimizer, a heat exchanger costing tool, to help you evaluate your exchanger designs from a total cost of ownership perspective. Hands-on and using industry-based case studies, you will discuss important design aspects and their impact on cost.

Thermosiphon Reboilers Short Course  (US$650)

Instructors: LiDong Huang and Kevin Farrell

This short course is dedicated to the discussion of thermosiphon reboilers. While working through four checklists (vertical tubeside, vertical shellside, horizontal tubeside, and horizontal shellside) developed by HTRI’s Engineering Services team, you will learn more about HTRI guidelines, recommendations and the use of Xist to investigate design issues in thermosiphon reboilers.
