WORKSHOP # 1

The design of a heat exchanger is necessary for every industry using them. There are different manual ways to design them but with the advancement in technology, it has become possible to do so using the sotwares. One of these softwares is ASPEN HTFS +. The steps which are to be followed to perform the designing are as follows. From the list of all programs in the run window, open the interface of ASPEN HTFS +. Open the input window and proceed to the problem definition. In the application option, you can change the calculation mode, here we selected the design mode. Go to the process data and give all the input values. After this, proceed to the property data and define your hot and cold stream. After giving all the values, run the simulation and check the TEMA sheet for results.

Some of the screens-shots are available here for easy understanding.

Screen-shot 1

The first screen-shot shown above, is about the calculation mode. In calculation mode, we can change the modes as Design Rating Simulation Maximum fouling

Screen-Shot 3

The screen-shot 3 shows result summary after the simulation is performed. Using this window, we can see the different results. Results for optimization path are as below. The first sheet is the Aspen Tasc + summary. The 2nd sheet show the Reslut summmary.
