Knowledge required for learning the process design of heat exchangers
Thread Content
Could you please advise on the knowledge required for the process design of heat exchangers, as well as any authoritative tutorials and materials available?
Books of this type, such as Principles of Chemical Engineering and Process Design Manuals, are all suitable.
First, review the relevant content in Chemical Engineering Principles to establish a solid theoretical foundation. Familiarize oneself with relevant design standards and specifications such as GB151, and finally use relevant design manuals for design calculations. Initially, it is recommended to manually calculate 2–3 heat exchangers in order to become familiar with the calculation process and understand the characteristics and key points involved in calculating different types of heat exchangers. Familiarize yourself with computational software for learning*, such as HTRI, HTFS, and so on. To become an expert, one can only do more practice and learn more.
Heat balance, property parameters, etc
I’m not sure what aspect of heat exchanger design the original poster is referring to – is it from the perspective of the process flow, or from the perspective of chemical engineering machinery and equipment, or perhaps from the perspective of the plant layout and the arrangement of equipment pipelines? The explanations provided by several fellow travelers upstairs were all based on calculations related to the production process; knowledge of heat exchange is certainly essential, so I won’t repeat that point ； From the perspective of equipment layout and pipeline arrangement design, it is necessary to be familiar with standards such as the \"Process Pipeline Installation Design Manual\", SH3059-2001, SH3011-2000, and SH3012-2000 ； Because I’m not majoring in chemical machinery; I don’t know much about the design of chemical engineering machinery and equipment
The most fundamental aspect is the principles of chemistry; it would be even better if you have specialized books on heat transfer. Then you can take a look at the engineering manual; those are examples calculated based on engineering practice ； By referring to previous project examples, one can figure out how to design it on their own.
First, it is necessary to understand the principle of heat exchangers, which is covered in many books on heat exchangers. I uploaded to the forum \"Practical Techniques for Heat Exchangers\", which details various issues related to heat exchangers.
Sinopec Shanghai Engineering Company has recently compiled a book titled \"Heat Exchangers\", which is also quite good; I am currently studying it*； Have time to scan and upload it the day after!
