Open heat exchangers increase a boiler's efficiency and remove non-condensable gases from the condensate. Familiarity with open heat exchanger design and characteristics can help during operations and maintenance.

The Open Heat Exchanger Design and Operation training course explains how open heat exchangers use direct contact to heat condensate and remove non-condensable gases from the condensate. It also describes the three basic types of open heat exchangers and their operational characteristics.

This course covers:

• Open heat exchanger purpose
• Deaerator types
• Deaerator operation

Open Heat Exchanger Design and Operation is part of the Heat Exchangers training series.
