Which is more accurate for calculating heat exchangers, EDR or HTRI? What is the difference between them?
HTRI seems more appropriate, personally. The EDR database is more powerful
The HTRI plate heat exchanger has never been used
As long as the physical property parameters are correct, the calculations produced by the two software programs will be identical. The main difference lies in whether the physical property method is chosen consistently and whether it fits the actual situation.
The two software programs are different; of course, the calculation results for the classic examples should be similar
HTRI’s database is also very powerful; many data packages can be selected

EDR is not mainstream, which may hinder communication
I’m used to using HTRI; I find it more convenient and easier to get started with； EDR is also fairly easy to use; its interface isn’t very user-friendly, but it can generate diagrams of the device, and it has quite powerful functions.
