Training Courses

    Kettle Reboilers Short Course

    Instructors: Andy Mountford and Hans Zettler

    Thermal design methods for kettle reboilers have evolved over the years and old rules-of-thumb no longer apply. New research results, software advances, and feedback from industry all contribute to improved design practices. The course presents the most up-to-date research in kettle reboilers, provides our current recommendation to use Xist to model kettles accurately, and discusses future research and software development to improve predictions. Many example problems illustrate recommended good practices for using Xist, interpreting warning messages, improving designs, and troubleshooting cases.

    Key Topics

    • Shellside boiling methods
    • Recirculation
    • Liquid level and bundle dryout
    • Differences between bundle composition and feed composition
    • Kettle sizing
    • Entrainment
    • Vibration
    • Fouling

    Suggested Participants

    Thermal design engineers and heat exchanger experts

    Heat Exchanger Fouling Short Course

    Instructors: Andy Mountford and Hans Zettler

    Industry experience indicates that using traditional methods in heat exchanger design for fouling service may result in excessive heat transfer area in some applications and promote fouling in others.

    This course reviews issues with fouling and several methods used in designing heat exchangers for fouling service.

    Key Topics

    • Mechanisms, mitigation, and diagnosis of crude oil fouling
    • Uncertainty and design margins, including a review of open literature methods
    • Overview of cooling water fouling, with discussion of the HTRI predictive model for cooling water fouling
    • Risk-based design method
    • No-foul design method

    Suggested Participants

    Engineers who specify, rate, and/or analyze heat exchangers in fouling service

    Condensers Workshop

    Instructors: Andy Mountford and Hans Zettler

    Learn the fundamentals of condensation mechanisms and how they apply to condenser designs! Apply guidelines to develop Xchanger Suite cases for accurate assessment of performance. This course provides a foundation for understanding the basis for thermal design of typical industrial heat exchangers.

    Key Topics

    • Film condensation in vertical surfaces
    • Condensation in horizontal tube bundles
    • Interfacial vapor shear effects on condensation heat transfer
    • Condensation inside horizontal tubes
    • Desuperheating and subcooling
    • Condensation with mixtures
    • Condensation with enhanced heat transfer surfaces
    • Two-phase pressure drop
    • Venting inerts
    • Drainage

    Suggested Participants

    Engineers who design and evaluate condenser equipment

Andy Mountford
Andy mountford

Senior Consulting Engineer, Technical Services and Sales, 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.
