Rate, simulate, and design shell-and-tube heat exchangers

Xist^®is an incremental program that contains HTRI’s latest pointwise methods based on extensive shellside and tubeside condensation, boiling, and single-phase data. The heat transfer and pressure drop correlations are continually improved as a result of our ongoing research.

As a module in Xchanger Suite^®, Xist lets you quickly transfer applicable case data to other components like Xvib^®or Xace^®.

Features

• 3D incrementation calculates localized profiles for heat transfer and pressure drop.
• Integrated tube layout tool allows complete customization of layout and is based on a full ASME mechanical design.
• Input via hierarchical data panels or TEMA specification sheet.
• Vibration screening warns of probable vibration problems.
• Extensive visualization tools show exactly how the exchanger is performing.
• Integrated physical property system eliminates requirement for additional property generation software. Xchanger Suite includes VMGThermo™, an extensive and rigorous fluid physical property generator from Virtual Materials Group, Inc.
• Includes built-in interface to most process simulators and mechanical design software.
• Can be embedded as a unit operation in any process simulator supporting CAPE-OPEN.
• Both input and output can be displayed in multiple unit sets, including user-defined sets. Dynamic display of values in all unit sets.
• Loads input files from HTFS™, Honeywell UniSim^® Shell-Tube Exchanger Modeler, and Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger™.
• Integration with Exchanger Optimizer™ provides embedded costing features, which include fabrication, installation, and operational estimates for design cases.
• Uses the Ultra engine, which is a rewritten shell-and-tube calculation engine with the same performance methods as the original Xist engine. The Ultra engine provides fast and reliable exchanger designs.

Design Tools

Htri Xist Manual Transmission

• Automatic optimization of shell diameter, baffle spacing, number of tubepasses, and tube length
• Grid design option to vary geometry over user-specified ranges and step sizes
• Design constraints to prevent selection of undesirable designs
• Best buildable design determined using Smart Design approach, which employs heuristics to find optimal shell size, tubepass arrangement, baffle spacing, and tube length
• Embedded Ultra engine to generate rapid deign results
• Smart Design used in combination with a grid approach to access a wider range of parameters such as shell or baffle type
