Preliminary Heat Exchanger Sizing (Shell&Tube)
|
Determines the preliminary size for a shell and tube heat exchanger
based on the process information provided. The required heat transfer area, the number of tubes and the shell size are
calculated. This tool also calculates the utility requirements for achieving the desired heat transfer.
|
|
LMTD Calculator
|
Calculates the Log Mean Temperature Difference (LMTD) for given
inlet and outlet temperatures. The LMTD represents the temperature driving force for the given application.
|
|
Mean Metal Temperatures Calculator
|
Calculates the tubesheet mean metal temperature. It also
calculates the mean metal temperatures for the shell and the tubes. This information is needed to determine
if an expansion joint is required.
|
|
Heat Loss from Vertical Vessel
|
Calculates the ambient heat losses from a vertical vessel.
The calculations take into consideration the dimensions of the tank, the ambient conditions and the physical properties
of the liquid and the vapour.

Heat Transfer Information:
|
|
|
Provides typical fouling factor values for different process
fluids and various cooling waters.
|
|
Tube Material Specifications
|
Provides the nominal composition of various commonly used tube
materials with their corresponding ASME and UNS code numbers. This information is helpful when looking at the as built
drawings of existing heat exchangers.
|
|
Tubes Characteristics
|
Provides tubes characteristics such as B.W.G. gage, wall thicknesses,
external area and O.D./I.D. ratio for various tube sizes.
|
|
Pipe Dimensions
|
Provides wall thicknesses for welded and seamless pipes
of various sizes.
