Today's cost-conscious process and manufacturing industries require the life of tubular heat exchangers to be extended. That's why engineers and technicians will welcome this guide, packed with inspection checklists and tips for cost containment that reduce the need for new equipment.

Advice on evaluating heat exchangers and on inspection strategies for both operating and out-of-service equipment will help prevent the need for costly reapairs. Additional benefits include tips on tube plugging, retubing, shell-side repairs and alterations, maintenance, repair, and alteration of closures, channels, bonnets, and tubesheets.

From the Back Cover

Maximize Heat Exchanger Availability and Cut the Need for Costly Repairs in Your Plant! Increasing concerns about cost control in process and manufacturing industries make it imperative to extend the life span of tubular heat exchangers. This handbook provides a bounty of inspection checklists and cost-containment tips that minimize the need for new equipment. It addresses inspection, maintenance, and repair of shell-and-tube heat exchangers ranging from simple pipe-size shop-fabricated exchangers to large field-erected ones. Practical approaches cover nondestructive examination and testing of exchangers that are under construction, in operation, or being restored for operation. Special attention is given to finding the locations and causes of failures and techniques of plugging, ferruling, and sleeving. Featuring coverage of the the two inspection codes used worldwide, this guide helps you to: Clean exchangers; Find the causes and locations of failures; Make shell-side repairs and alterations; Maintain, alter, and repair tubesheets, bonnets, channels, and covers; Handle tube leaks that necessitate unscheduled outages; Increase reboiler capacity and repair reboiler sheels; Evaluate heat exchanger factories and repair shops. You'll also see how to conduct feedwater heater autopsies so you can prevent repetition of past design and operation errors. Complete with insights into causes of deterioration and guidance on retubing and rebundling. Tubular Heat Exchanger Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair will be your most valuable cost-cutting field manual.

Excellent General Survey of Inspection Techniques Available

December 17, 2006

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This an excellent reference book for maintaining shell and tube heat exchangers but it suffers from some flaws. The printing is substandard and it needs more graphics. It would be nice see some pictures showing the types of problems mentioned. Better theoretical development would be useful. Theory gets a bad rep. but it helps to define problem boundaries. Knowing why a scale can be removed by chemical means is rather important. There is the risk of over-dosing and causing severe corrosion in tubing if you don't know why there are limits.

Still, this is a rare book and may be worth your money if you don't have detailed vendor information. I bought it, and I am a picky book buyers. A space in my book collection must be earned and this book earned such a spot. I just hope something better comes along.
