- 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
Xist Workshop (US$450)
Instructors: David Frankum and Hans Zettler
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
Suggested Participants
Designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance
Wednesday, November 29, 2017
- kettle reboilers
- vacuum condensers
- feed-effluent exchangers
Special Topics in Xist Workshop (US$450)
Instructor: David Frankum
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
Suggested Participants
Experienced Xist users who troubleshoot cases and evaluate shell-and-tube exchanger performance
Thursday, November 30, 2017
- 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
Heat Exchanger Fouling Short Course (US$650)
Instructor: 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
Suggested Participants
Engineers who specify, rate, and/or analyze heat exchangers in fouling service

Instructors
Senior Engineer, Technical Support, provides technical support and training for HTRI. He earned a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Birmingham and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the University of Nottingham. Before joining HTRI, Frankum worked for Aspentech as a Team Leader in technical support. He also has experience with UKAEA as a technical/quality manager in the separation processes service. Frankum’s research experience, along with his knowledge of a wide range of heat exchanger-type equipment and design software packages (EDR, HTC, B-JAC, HYSYS, Aspen plus, and Xchanger Suite), gives him a broad-based skill set for his role at HTRI.
Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, joined HTRI while completing his PhD in Chemical Engineering at the University of Surrey, Guildford, 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. Zettler is responsible for Sales in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. 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, United Kingdom.
