COURSE TERMINAL OBJECTIVE Given a maintenance activity involving Heat Exchangers (condensers, re-heaters, heaters, etc.), describe the inspection, cleaning, repair and rework methods used at Palo Verde, in accordance with plant procedures, manufacturer’s technical manuals, and standard maintenance practices, as demonstrated by achieving a minimum score of 80% on a written exam. 4
5
LESSON TERMINAL OBJECTIVE Given a maintenance operation involving heat exchangers, the Plant Mechanic will describe the theory of operation and basic construction of heat exchangers, as demonstrated by achieving a minimum score of 80% on a written examination. 5

LESSON ENABLING OBJECTIVES EO01 State the basic theory of heat transfer. EO02 Define the three mechanisms of heat transfer. EO03 List the four (4) functions performed by heat exchangers EO04 Classify heat exchangers by their construction. EO05 Identify five (5) factors which affect heat exchanger operation. 6
7
HEAT Heat is energy in transit from one mass to another because of the temperature difference between the two. Heat: a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms or molecules and transferred from a body at a HIGHER Temperature to one at a LOWER Temperature. 7
8
Temperature A measure of the ability to transfer heat. Heat exchanger: Device to transfer heat from one fluid to another. 8
9
Principles of Heat Heat energy will move from a high energy state to that of a lower energy state. The process will continue until a state of Equilibrium is reached. Energy will flow from a “hot” material to a “cold” material. 9
10
Mechanisms for heat transfer Conduction Convection: Natural and Forced Radiation: The only method of heat transfer through a vacuum. 10
11
Heat Transfer Coefficient The Measure of the material’s ability to transfer heat. The higher the value, the more heat transfers through the material. 11
12
CONDUCTION The transfer of heat from one part of a body to another part or to another body by short range interactions of molecules and/or electrons. 12
