Issues with PVelite in calculating heat exchangers
Thread Content
When using PVelite to calculate heat exchangers, should the design parameters for the tube side or the shell side be entered in the design constraints? This affects the input of subsequent tube box parameters, as it is automatically linked. Thank you
Enter the data here; the values for the tube side and shell side are both the same. You can then correct the shell side values in the general input field. If you’re unsure, add WeChat zgmhhs for free guidance
General input refers to the element data for a single component, whereas design constraints represent the overall constraints; it’s not clear whether to enter the data for the tube side or the shell side. If it’s a container, then this problem doesn’t exist.
Does anyone who is an expert in PVelite know?
The PVelite manual does not specify whether inputting shell-side parameters as overall design constraints will have an impact on the calculation results
Normally, it should be the tube side, as the modeling sequence is from left to right: first model the tube box, and then click on \"Is this a heat exchange?\" The specific design parameters will need to be entered again in the HEATER MODULE LOAD CASES
You are referring to the parameter input for the element. But the overall parameters of the design constraints must be entered first, and then the parameters of each component of the element are entered for modeling
