Overview

Achieving productivity targets and improving processes relies on a solid understanding of system performance, accurate design and sizing calculations, and effective troubleshooting techniques. This course provides participants with the knowledge to design, size, select, and assess the performance of key components in thermal-fluid systems, including gas piping systems (fans, compressors, and ducts), liquid piping systems (piping and pumps), and heat exchangers (shell and tube, double pipe, plate and frame, and cross-flow).

Designed for individuals with limited experience, the course also provides valuable insights for experienced professionals looking to refine their skills in thermal-fluid systems.
