In this course, you will learn about the plate heat exchanger; its components, design, methodology, maintenance and more.

Many machines and almost all industrial processes, require some form of heat transfer. Designing machinery to transfer heat in an efficient and safe manner is not a 'nice to have', it's a necessity. Despite the numerous processes that require heat transfer, only two heat exchangers are commonly used today, the shell & tube type and the plate type.

This course gives you all the information you need to know about the plate heat exchanger and can also be used later as a refresher course. In this course you will learn: All of a plate heat exchanger's components; How plate heat exchangers work; Different plate heat exchanger designs; How to vary the cooling capacity of a plate heat exchanger; Tips and tricks when assembling and disassembling a plate heat exchanger; Maintenance tasks associated with a plate heat exchanger as well as the Advantages and Disadvantages associated with a plate heat exchanger.
