Introduction to Equipment Technology
100% written exam
In the production field, manufacturing installations handling fluids, equipment used in energy transfer (pumps, compressors, turbines, heat exchangers) have an important weight in terms of both technical and economic performance. In this course, the main devices used in fluid transport and heat exchange, their operating principle, operating conditions and their role in processes will be presented. Based on the results obtained by simulation, the objective of the course is to size the materials and equipment concerned, to evaluate their operating and investment costs.
Students who have completed this course will be able to:
– Make preliminary calculations, as part of a pre-feasibility study, for a simple industrial installation
-Propose a coherent process flow diagram
-Search for the physico-chemical data necessary for all the calculations of a pre-feasibility study
-Calculate the flows (pressure drops) and select the corresponding equipment
-Sizing, within the framework of a pre-study, the main rotating equipment (pump and compressor) and selecting the associated technologies
-Sizing the main static materials (exchangers, balloon,…) and selecting the associated technologies
-To make an economic estimate of the changes
