ASPEN imported the shell-and-tube heat exchanger from HTRI

Thread Content

I’ve encountered a problem in a recent design and am seeking everyone’s help. Steps: 1. A heat exchanger was simulated within the “Aspen Plus User Interface” using the Heater module available in “Heat Exchangers”, and then a sum file was exported. 2. Open the “Aspen Plus Simulation Engine” and follow the steps to generate a HTRI calculation file containing heat exchanger property data in dat format. 3. A problem arose: When I opened HTRI and wanted to design a jacketed heat exchanger, I created a new \"Jacketed Pipe Exchanger\". However, when I tried to select the generated dat file in \"Import case\", an error message appeared stating that \"Importing different unit type (Xist to Xjpe) is not allowed\", and the import could not be completed. If a new shell and tube exchanger is created, it can be imported successfully, but what I need is a coiled tube heat exchanger. Question: How can the heat exchanger data from ASPEN be imported into the shell-and-tube heat exchanger module in HTRI? Thank you!:D
