Design of multi-layer shell and tube heat exchangers
Thread Content
Guys, I’ve run into a problem with the process calculation for a three-layer shell and tube heat exchanger recently. Is there any software that can handle this kind of calculation? HTRI seems to only count as 2 floors.
For multi-layer shell and tube heat exchangers, common heat exchanger design software such as HTRI may indeed not support calculations for more than two layers. You can try using AspenTech’s Aspen EDR (Exchanger Design & Rating) software, which supports more complex heat exchanger designs, including multi-flow and multi-layer shell-and-tube designs. Additionally, some customized specialized software or manual calculations are also ways to solve the problem. .
Thank you for your reply. Are there any relevant materials available for study?
It seems that EDR couldn’t find the calculation module for the shell-and-tube heat exchanger
