HONEYWELL says it is collaborating with Heat Transfer Research to help industrial manufacturers more easily design heat exchanger equipment in their plants.
According to the companies, they are tightly integrating Honeywell’s UniSim Design with Heat Transfer Research’s Xchanger Suite software. Plants will be able to improve upon the level of detail reflected in their heat exchanger designs and projected performance in simulated plant models.
Honeywell says the integrated approach will help engineers optimise overall process design and operation strategies through the assessment of prediction models which indicate how the heat exchangers will function and affect the overall plant.
UniSim Design is Honeywell’s simulation software used by plant and process engineers to create and improve manufacturing processes implemented within industrial facilities.
HTRI Xchanger Suite is an advanced engineering tool that includes nine software components for designing, rating and simulating heat exchangers.
Honeywell claims the heat exchanger design and simulation models can be used to evaluate process modifications and help improve overall plant safety, reliability and efficiency.
According to Honeywell, the heat exchanger is one of the most critical aspects of plant design because it affects so much of the overall operation and is typically one of the most expensive pieces of equipment to maintain.
