COMPACT HEAT EXCHANGERS – GUIDANCE FOR
ENGINEERS
This Package is issued by the Energy Efficiency Best Practice Programme and aims to
increase the penetration of compact heat exchangers into industry by promoting awareness of
the technology amongst graduate engineers in particular.
This modular Package is intended to provide University lecturers or other training forums
such as Continuing Professional Development, with text, graphics, photographs and examples
that can be easily incorporated into lecture material, course notes or similar. The full text and
graphics are provided on the CD-ROM included with this Package.
All the text, graphics and photographs can be downloaded from the CD-ROM in
WORD format. This material can be incorporated into lecture notes, presentations or
similar without restriction for educational purposes. The source of commercial graphics
materials should be acknowledged where appropriate.
This Training Package updates and combines information from the Good Practice Guides 89
and 198 already available through the Best Practice Programme. It provides information on
compact heat exchanger technology, applications, selection, operation and Best Practice. To
illustrate the potential benefits of compact heat exchanger designs, worked design examples
are given comparing some compact exchanger designs with other more conventional
exchangers.
The Training Package comprises six modules:
Module 0 introduces the Package structure and contents.
Module 1 describes the Package background and introduces compact heat exchangers in
general.
Module 2 provides details on individual compact heat exchanger technologies.
Module 3 addresses aspects and issues common to all heat exchangers.
Module 4 presents initial design selection examples.
Module 5 gives other information.
Produced for the Government by:
ETSU
and
WS Atkins Consultants Ltd.
