About This Book

From upstream to downstream, heat exchangers are utilized in every stage of the petroleum value stream. An integral piece of equipment, heat exchangers are among the most confusing and problematic pieces of equipment in petroleum processing operations. This is especially true for engineers just entering the field or seasoned engineers that must keep up with the latest methods for in-shop and in-service inspection, repair, alteration and re-rating of equipment. The objective of this book is to provide engineers with sufficient information to make better logical choices in designing and operating the system. Heat Exchanger Equipment Field Manual provides an indispensable means for the determination of possible failures and for the recognition of the optimization potential of the respective heat exchanger.

  • Step-by-step procedure on how to design, perform in-shop and in-field inspections and repairs, perform alterations and re-rate equipment
  • Select the correct heat transfer equipment for a particular application
  • Apply heat transfer principles to design, select and specify heat transfer equipment
  • Evaluate the performance of heat transfer equipment and recommend solutions to problems
  • Control schemes for typical heat transfer equipment application

What Is a Heat Exchanger?

Device built for efficient heat transfer from one medium to another, whether the media are
Separated by a wall so they never mix or
In direct contact
Widely used in both upstream and downstream facilities
May be classified according to their flow arrangement
Cocurrent flow (parallel flow)
Two fluids enter the exchanger at the same end and travel parallel to one another to the other side
Countercurrent (counterflow)
Two fluids enter the exchanger from opposite ends

Commonly Used Types of Heat Exchangers

Shell and tube
Consist of a bundle of tubes and a shell
One fluid that needs to be heated or cooled flows through the tubes and the second fluid runs over the tubes that provides the heat or absorbs the heat required
Plate
Composed of multiple, thin, slightly separated plates that have very large surface areas relative to size for heat transf...
