This is a shout out for the IEM. My Technical Division will be hosting a seminar on the 11th November, 2011. It’ll start at 9:00am and is worth 2 CPD hours. You still gotta climb those steps at Wisma IEM.
This is held in conjunction with our AGM. Please turn up for that as well.
The subject of Thermodynamics taught in college always refers to Heat Exchanger as the equipment to exchange heat. However, not many engineers post-graduation have the opportunity to work directly with Heat Exchangers. These Heat Exchangers are widely used in the industries, especially in the Oil & Gas facilities. There are various types of heat exchangers which are selected based on specific intended process requirement.
The talk will provide an overview on the types of heat exchangers commonly used in the Oil & Gas industry based on the Codes & Standards used during the design such as the Shell & Tube Heat Exchangers, Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers, Double Pipe Heat Exchangers and the Plate Heat Exchangers. This will be followed by an example of the fabrication processes, the common welding processes such as GTAW, SMAW, SAW and the main forming processes such as plate rolling and tube bending.
