hiTRAN.SP design and simulation software in now available as a 'plug-in' for HTRI Xchanger Suite® and Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating® allowing engineers to optimise the performance of shell and tube and crossflow heat exchangers. hiTRAN.SP calculates the performance of heat exchangers equipped with hiTRAN Wire Matrix Elements and is designed to utilise all the allowable pressure drop in order to maximise the heat transfer performance of the exchanger. During the calculation process, hiTRAN.SP assigns a unique hiTRAN Wire Matrix Element Geometry to the design, which is determined by the bundle geometry, the process conditions and the property data.
For users without access to HTRI or Aspentech Software hiTRAN.SP can also be used as a standalone enhancement selection programme for the tube side of heat exchangers. The software is available free of charge from the Cal Gavin website. http://www.calgavin.com/software-downloads/
The use of the hiTRAN software is given in the single sheet pdf document here
