The flagship of the suite, , handles the most common industrial exchanger: the shell-and-tube. It allows for complex geometry inputs, including different baffle types (segmental, helical, or rod) and sophisticated nozzle configurations. 2. Xace (Air-Cooled Design)
For refineries and power plants where water is scarce, air-cooled heat exchangers (fin-fans) are vital. HTRI’s module provides precise calculations for finned tubes and fan performance, ensuring the unit can handle peak summer temperatures. 3.

Your design is only as good as the fluid data you put in. Always link HTRI to a reliable properties database (like Aspen Properties or CAPE-OPEN) for complex hydrocarbon mixtures. The flagship of the suite, , handles the
HTRI offers advanced tools to predict how fluids will deposit "gunk" over time, allowing engineers to design more realistic cleaning cycles. Top Features of HTRI for Heat Exchanger Design Xace (Air-Cooled Design) For refineries and power plants
If you want to produce a "top-tier" design using HTRI, keep these tips in mind:
To stay at the top of the design game, engineers focus on three core modules within the HTRI ecosystem: 1. Xist (Shell-and-Tube Design)
Unlike generic simulators, HTRI's algorithms are backed by decades of large-scale testing in their multi-million dollar research facility.
