New and Updated Calculation Methods
HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 incorporates the latest findings from HTRI's ongoing research program, which covers a wide range of heat transfer equipment and applications. Some of the new and updated calculation methods in version 7 are:
A new method for predicting shellside condensation heat transfer coefficients for pure components and mixtures
A new method for estimating shellside pressure drop for segmental baffles with leakage and bypass streams
A new method for calculating tubeside pressure drop for enhanced tubes with inserts
An improved method for predicting airside heat transfer coefficients for finned tubes in crossflow
An improved method for estimating airside pressure drop for finned tubes in crossflow
An improved method for modeling flow maldistribution effects in air-cooled exchangers
An improved method for predicting heat transfer coefficients for plate-fin exchangers with offset strip fins
These new and updated methods improve the accuracy and reliability of HTRI Xchanger Suite 7, especially for challenging cases where conventional methods may not be applicable or sufficient.
Improved User Interface and Output Reports
HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 also features a modern user interface that allows multiple case files (containing both text and graphical inputs/outputs) to be open at the same time. This makes it easier to compare different cases, scenarios, or exchangers within the same project or across different projects.
The output reports in version 7 are also more comprehensive and detailed, providing local profiles of all important parameters along the exchanger. The reports also include graphs and scale drawings that provide in-depth visualization of calculated results. These features help users to better understand and communicate the performance and design of heat transfer equipment.
Expanded Capabilities for Modeling Complex Geometries and Scenarios
HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 can handle virtually any type of heat transfer equipment, including shell-and-tube, air-cooled, plate-fin, hairpin, kettle, thermosiphon, reflux condenser, falling film evaporator, and more. It can also model complex geometries such as twisted tubes, helical baffles, rod baffles, tube inserts, finned tubes, offset strip fins, etc.
In addition to geometrical complexity, HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 can also simulate complex scenarios such as phase change, fouling, vibration, maldistribution, transient operation, etc. It can also handle multi-stream exchangers with any number of hot or cold streams in parallel or series arrangements.
These expanded capabilities allow users to model real-world situations more accurately and realistically, as well as to explore new design possibilities and alternatives.
Enhanced Integration with Other Engineering Software and Tools
HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 can interface with various engineering software and tools to facilitate data exchange and workflow integration. Some of the software and tools that can be interfaced with version 7 are:
Process simulators such as Aspen Plus®, Aspen HYSYS®, PRO/II®, UniSim®, etc.
Physical property databanks such as VMGThermo®, DIPPR®, NIST REFPROP®, etc.
Mechanical design programs such as COMPRESS®,
