Forensic Thermal Engineering

Forensic Engineering and Failure Analysis of Thermal Equipment

When heat exchangers fail prematurely, the financial losses due to downtime can be astronomical. This Gig provides a forensic analysis of the root causes of failure—whether due to corrosion, fatigue, or design flaws -  and provides the engineering path to a robust, safe solution.

Technical Scope
Analysis includes material characterization and review, fluid chemistry review, and stress-strain assessment under operating conditions. The final report provides not only the cause of failure but also the reverse-engineered design parameters required for a more robust replacement unit.
