Products and Services

HTRI methods and software—based on extensive research data collected on industrial-sized heat transfer equipment—have remained the industry standard for 50 years. Our research is ongoing and unparalleled. As we obtain and analyze new data on shell-and-tube and non-tubular heat exchangers, air coolers, heat recovery bundles, and fired heaters, we update our methods and incorporate them into the next version of our software.

 Information Sheet

HTRI
Xchanger Suite 7

HTRI Xchanger Suite® is an integrated graphical user environment for the design and rating of heat exchangers. All components of the suite—Xace®, Xfh®, Xhpe®, Xist®, Xjpe®, Xpfe®, Xphe®, Xspe®, and Xvib®—work together.

Xace

Design, rating, and simulation of air-cooled heat exchangers, heat recovery bundles, and air preheaters

Xfh

 Simulation of fired heaters

Xhpe

 Design, rating, and simulation of hairpin heat exchangers

Xist

Design, rating, and simulation of single- and two-phase shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including kettle and thermosiphon reboilers, falling film evaporators, and reflux condensers

Xjpe

 Design, rating, and simulation of jacketed pipe heat exchangers

Xpfe

 Design and simulation of plate-fin heat exchangers

Xphe

 Design, rating, and simulation of plate-and-frame heat exchangers

Xspe

 Rating and simulation of spiral plate heat exchangers

Xvib

 Rigorous flow-induced vibration analysis of individual tubes in a heat exchanger bundle

System requirements: You must have the following to run HTRI Xchanger Suite 7 and HTRI eLibrary 2:
  • Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, or Windows 8 operating system
  • 32- or 64-bit processor
  • 512 MB RAM for Microsoft Windows XP/2003; 1 GB RAM for Windows Vista/7/2008/8
