6.1 PREFACE
This lesson is designed around piping technical practices for exchangers. We will review exchangers and their function with the ultimate goal of developing an understanding of exchanger piping.
Within the chemical and petroleum industry, the term heat exchanger refers to a vessel for exchanging heat between two separate streams - for heating and cooling.
This lesson will cover the procedures required for EXCHANGER studies, and the piping connected to them. Two things to keep in mind; first, use Fluor standards as a guide, and second, the guidelines mentioned in this lesson may be different than jobs you may have worked on in the past. Some clients have their own engineering standards.
6.1.1 Lesson Objectives
Lessons provide self-directed piping layout training to designers who have basic piping design skills. Training material can be applied to manual or electronic applications. Lesson objectives are:
• To familiarize you with Fluor's standards on exchangers. (Fluor's standards are a guide; the standards used on your contract may differ.
• To familiarize you with exchanger piping Technical Practices 000.250.2600, Sht. 1, Exchangers - Tema Nomenclature and Sheet. 2, Shell and Tube Exchanger Types; 000.250.2601, Layout of Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers; 000.250.2602, Layout of Air Cooler Exchangers and 000.250.2603, Layout of Double Pipe Exchangers.
• To identify basic types of exchangers.
• To develop basic process knowledge of heat exchanger piping.
• To establish proper location of heat exchangers.
• To understand servicing related to exchanger location
