A plant or refinery may include equipment such as reactors, heaters, heat exchangers, regenerators, separators, or the like. Types of heat exchangers include shell and tube, plate, plate and shell, plate fin, air cooled, wetted-surface air cooled, or the like. Operating methods may impact deterioration in equipment condition, prolong equipment life, extend production operating time, or provide other benefits. Mechanical or digital sensors may be used for monitoring equipment, and sensor data may be programmatically analyzed to identify developing problems. For example, sensors may be used in conjunction with one or more system components to detect and correct maldistribution, cross-leakage, strain, pre-leakage, thermal stresses, fouling, vibration, problems in liquid lifting, conditions that can affect air-cooled exchangers, conditions that can affect a wetted-surface air-cooled heat exchanger, or the like. An operating condition or mode may be adjusted to prolong equipment life or avoid equipment failure. 1. A system comprising:a reactor;a heater;a heat exchanger;a regenerator;a separator;one or more sensors associated with the heat exchanger; one or more processors of the data collection platform;', 'a communication interface of the data collection platform; and', receive, from the one or more sensors associated with the heat exchanger, sensor data comprising operation information associated with the heat exchanger;', 'correlate the sensor data from the one or more sensors with metadata comprising time data, the time data corresponding to the operation information associated with the heat exchanger; and', 'transmit the sensor data; and, 'memory storing executable instructions that, when executed, cause the data collection platform to], 'a data collection platform comprising one or more processors of the data analysis platform;', 'a communication interface of the data analysis platform; and', receive, from the data collection platform, the sensor data comprising ...
