Heat Exchangers Design Tools<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

At SACOME<\/strong> we are registered member of Heat Transfer Research, Inc. (HTRI)<\/strong><\/a>since 1998. HTRI<\/strong> is an internationally renowned organization that, since its creation in 1962, investigate the phenomena of heat transfer<\/strong> with the aim to develop much more precise and accurate design methods<\/strong>. Thanks to this collaboration with HTRI, the SACOME Technical Department<\/strong> have at their disposal the most advanced calculation tools<\/strong> for heat exchangers calculation<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Heat Exchangers Design Optimization<\/h2>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

The most recent example of this ongoing improvement is the release of HTRI Xchanger Suite v8<\/strong><\/a>, new version with which we can optimize our designs<\/strong>. Some of the enhancements that this new version incorporates are as follows:<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n

1. Determination of the fouling factor in the cooling water<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the main uncertainties when designing a shell and tube heat exchanger for a cooling process<\/strong> is the correct estimation of fouling<\/strong>, associated with the cooling water channel<\/strong>. The HTRI <\/strong>software incorporates a new tool that allows to determine the fouling factor in water<\/strong>, according to its properties, such as:<\/p>\n

  • Acidity.<\/li>\n
  • Alkalinity.<\/li>\n
  • Hardness.<\/li>\n
  • Dissolved solids.<\/li>\n

    2. New calculation methods for heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops, based on experimental data.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    HTRI has sophisticated pilot plants that allow to parameterize and analyze the performance of heat exchangers<\/strong>, simulating real operating conditions. Thanks to this information, it is possible to improve the existing calculation methods<\/strong> for complex processes such as:<\/p>\n

  • Boiling in shellside<\/strong>, when the prevailing mechanism is nucleation, or when it is natural convection instead.<\/li>\n
  • Shellside condensation<\/strong>, in particular for low steam fractions, and subcooling of the condensate is expected, or when the process is ruled by gravity.<\/li>\n
  • Condensation in tubes<\/strong>, in the different possible regimes:<\/li>\n

    3. A new calculation engine allows to reduce the computing time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    In those applications having a high number of heat exchangers in series<\/strong>, multiple iterative calculations are required to be carried out to find the optimal solution<\/strong> for the system, since the performance of a single module can affect the operation of the rest of heat exchangers<\/strong>. Thanks to the new HTRI<\/strong> calculation engine, at SACOME we are able to further optimize our shell and tube heat exchangers designs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
