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

Vibration Analysis Workshop  (US$450)

Instructors: Li Anne Choong and Peter Joosten

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

Special Topics in Xist Workshop  (US$450)

Instructors: Li Anne Choong and Peter Joosten

This workshop moves beyond the fundamentals of thermal design to focus on specific design challenges associated with a range of service types including kettle reboilers, vacuum condensers and feed-effluent exchangers. Presented as a series of case studies, each topic is introduced by the instructor before participants delve into Xist to work on solutions which are ultimately discussed amongst the group. The knowledge attained from this workshop will allow you to tackle related design challenges in your future work.

Key Topics

• kettle reboilers
• vacuum condensers
• feed-effluent exchangers

Suggested Participants

Experienced Xist users who troubleshoot cases and evaluate shell-and-tube exchanger performance

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

Instructors: Li Anne Choong and Peter Joosten

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.
