Acoustic Vibration: Will My Heat Exchanger Sing?
COST PER VIEW£100.00
A webinar that examines:
- The causes of acoustic vibration and the methods used to predict it.
- The types of heat exchanger which carry a high risk of acoustic vibration.
- Methods to minimise the risk of noise generation, with the emphasis on a practical and common-sense approach.
Course Description
Acoustic Vibration: Will My Heat Exchanger Sing?
Most heat exchangers are shy creatures, working away in silence. Some hum quietly to themselves and a very small number sing loudly. Sadly, heat exchanger song is, to the human ear, unappreciated and unwelcome. Designers must therefore take steps to identify the operatically-minded and dissuade them from performing.
The software tools used to design the majority of industrial heat exchangers contain some capability to predict acoustic vibration, but do not offer a complete and reliable solution. In order to avoid problems, heat exchanger designers will need to be prepared to disengage the auto-pilot and fly manually.
This webinar will examine the causes of acoustic vibration and the methods used to predict it. The types of heat exchanger which carry a high risk of acoustic vibration will be identified. Methods to minimise the risk of noise generation will be presented, with the emphasis on a practical and common-sense approach.
