| Beyond the Basics: Debugging Fatal Errors in Xist® | |
|
August 19, 2010 |
The error messages generated by Xist are helpful because they identify either the root cause or symptoms of the problems with your case. This webinar discusses the types of errors, analyzes four examples of fatal errors, and provides guidelines for preventing and debugging fatal errors in Xist. Important concepts in this webinar include: data check and runtime messages can be informative, warning, or fatal, use Xist resources (help files, FAQs, Tech Tips) to prevent fatal error messages, and use engineering expertise to determine root cause of problems that fatal error messages do not clearly identify. |
| Beyond the Basics: Rating, Simulation, or Design? Understanding Case Modes in HTRI Xchanger Suite® | |
|
May 20, 2010 |
Most Xchanger Suite modules allow you to run an exchanger in three different modes--rating, simulation, and design. This webinar discusses each type in terms of how they differ, how to specify each type and reasons why each type is useful. |
| Beyond the Basics: Building Your First Case in Xist® | |
|
March 30, 2010 |
Are you ready to build your first case in Xist? This webinar discusses the Xist interface, including how to navigate, how to utilize the options you have to model your exchanger, how to determine which version of Xist you are running, and how to get help. After the initial discussion on the Xist interface, the webinar works through an example using a TEMA datasheet with limited process information to input, run, and troubleshoot the case in Xist. |
| Is My Design OK? | |
| Is My Design OK? Baffled by Heat Exchanger Design | |
|
July 15, 2010 |
Throughout the webinar, we examine standard TEMA and Non-TEMA baffle types, Xist examples to illustrate how different baffles affect heat exchanger performance, and rules of thumb concerning proper design with respect to baffle cut, spacing, and orientation. Finally, we provide a summary of the performance characteristics of the different baffle types, to guide effective shell-and-tube heat exchanger design. Please note, a handout of relevant literature, performance summaries, and Xist examples is included for this webinar. |
| Is My Design OK? Understanding Tube Layout | |
|
April 22, 2010 |
This webinar discusses the key issues you should address to achieve successful tube layout in a heat exchanger. After reviewing methods to maximize the tubecount in the shell, such as the selection of an effective tube layout approach and knowing when to replace or remove tubes, we go on to discuss how to identify the best methods for avoiding tube removal/replacing tubes and methods to use for determining how to improve thermal performance after tube removal. |
| Is My Design OK? Shellside Condenser Design | |
| February 18, 2010 Facilitated by: Tom Lestina Length: 39:32 |
A concise review of shellside condenser design, this webinar begins with a discussion of the fundamentals of shellside condensation, including film condensation and pressure drop. The webinar uses a vertical G-shell condenser model as a sample case to dicuss the objectives of condenser design. |
