In ASPEN distillation column simulations, convergence is achieved for the kettle-type reboiler column and heat curves can be generated, but why isn’t convergence possible when a thermosyphon reboiler is selected? How to use the heat curve data of a Kettle-type reboiler to import it into HTRI for calculating a thermosyphon reboiler?

In ASPEN distillation column simulations, if a kettle-type reboiler is used for column convergence and the heat curve data has been successfully obtained, but convergence cannot be achieved when a thermosyphon reboiler is selected, it may be because the heat curve data does not meet the requirements for calculating thermosyphon reboilers using htri. To solve this problem, you can try to prepare the heat curve data again according to the requirements of the htri software. The specific method involves selecting appropriate operating conditions in the ASPEN simulation, such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc., as well as suitable design parameters for the batch reboiler column, such as tube bundle configuration, material, tube diameter, etc. Subsequently, simulation calculations are carried out, and the results of these simulations are compared with the input parameters of the htri software; any discrepancies are adjusted until the requirements of the htri software are met. The heat curve data obtained through this method can be directly imported into htri to calculate the thermosiphon reboiler, thereby achieving stable convergence and efficient operation of the system. .
