FEATURES

A fully incremental program, Xhpe contains HTRIs latest


pointwise methods based on extensive shellside and
tubeside condensation, boiling, and single-phase data.
As part of our ongoing research program, we continually
improve and extend the heat transfer and pressure drop
correlations in our software. And because it is part of
Xchanger Suite

, Xhpe lets you quickly transfer applicable


case data to other components like Xist

.
Xhpe provides flexible specification of detailed
exchanger geometry.
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.
Detailed output reports provide overall and
localized results.
Extensive visualization tools show exactly how
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.
Xhpe integrates with other engineering tools such as
process simulators and mechanical design software.
Both input and output support multiple unit sets, and
custom unit sets can be defined.

GEOMETRY SPECIFICATIONS
Plain, low-finned, and longitudinal-finned tubes
Twisted tape inserts and internal microfin tubes
Single and double segmental as well as non-baffled configurations
Single shell, shells in series, shells in parallel, and series/parallel combinations
Integrated graphical tube layout tool
CALCULATION FEATURES
Benefit from rigorous heat transfer and pressure drop calculations performed using
a 3D incrementation scheme to divide the exchanger into a large number of zones
Specify known process information (temperature, weight fraction vapor,
and/or flowrates), and the program calculates any missing information
Select from rating (known duty and geometry), simulation (unknown duty and
known geometry), and design (known duty and unknown geometry) modes
Specify your own safety factors and heat transfer coefficients
DESIGN TOOLS
Grid design options to vary geometry over user-specified ranges and step sizes
Design constraints to prevent selection of undesirable designs
Design grid to keep all alternative designs at your fingertips
OUTPUT REPORTS
Extensive set of spreadsheet-style output reports that can be printed or
exported to Microsoft

Excel

Summary reports with overall results in one or two pages


Detailed reports for local profiles of all important parameters (temperature,
pressure, heat transfer coefficients, heat flux, etc.)
Selectable font sizes to make reports easy to view
Customizable unit sets that can be changed dynamically as you work
GRAPHIC VISUALIZATION
2D and 3D scaled drawings provide visual confirmation of exchanger geometry
2D and 3D plots of local performance variables allow you to quickly spot any
performance issues such as an internal temperature pinch
A tube layout drawing illustrating exact tube placements is also available in input for
user-specified layouts
