Description
Do you design air-cooled heat exchangers? Evaluate their performance? Then this workshop is for you. Learn how to use Xace effectively to rate and design air-cooled heat exchangers, economizers, and air preheaters. All example problems and practice exercises relate to geometries handled only by Xace.
Key Topics
- Overview of Xace capabilities and applications
- Geometry inputs for air coolers and economizers
- Process specifications for rating, simulation, and design
- Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
- Introduction to HTRI analysis methods
Suggested Participants
Designers of air-cooled heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance
Course Fee: US$450
SmartPM™ is HTRI’s performance monitoring and predictive maintenance software for shell-and-tube exchanger networks. With this software, you can
- rapidly build complex digital twin models, re-using any available Xist® files
- connect to plant data sources such as OSIsoft PI System™ and synchronize with Xist to populate with real plant performance data, geometry, and stream properties
- run either rapid HTRI or rigorous Xist engines for selected exchangers, for single- or two-phase flow
- easily reconcile and simulate data
- identify ways to save energy and manage throughput through exchanger cleaning
- decide which exchangers not to clean at turnaround
- improve network performance when revamping exchangers
In this webinar, we use a refinery preheat train case study to highlight selected new and expanded capabilities in SmartPM 5.0.
Registration deadline: March 22, 2021 (11:59 PM CDT)

Description
A must for anyone who evaluates the vibration potential of shell-and-tube heat exchangers! In this course, you learn about vibration mechanisms in shell-and-tube heat exchangers and Xist methods to analyze vibration severity. Most importantly, you discover corrective measures to mitigate damage.
Key Topics
- Introduction to vibration phenomena
- Flow-induced vibration (fluidelastic instability, vortex shedding, turbulent buffeting, acoustic vibration)
- Design options to mitigate vibration
- Field fixes
- Xist Vibration Report
- Example application and case studies
Suggested Participants
Design and plant engineers responsible for the mechanical condition of shell-and-tube heat exchangers
Course Fee: US$650
Session times targeted for audience in Asia.
Event schedule
This course consists of three live online, instructor-led sessions, each from (8:30 AM – 11:00 AM India Standard Time; 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM China Standard Time; 12:00 PM – 2:30 PM Japan Standard Time)
Session 1: Tuesday, April 13, 2021
Session 2: Wednesday, April 14, 2021
Session 3: Thursday, April 15, 2021
Registrants will receive an email containing instructions on how to access the sessions. The email will be distributed at least (2) business days prior to the first scheduled session.
Description
This workshop is devoted to the shell-and-tube exchanger geometries handled only by Xist. The course focuses on the extensive options available in Xist and how you can use these methods effectively to solve several example problems. You will leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.
Key Topics
- Overview of Xist interface and the benefits of HTRI methods
- Process specification rules for rating, simulation, and design modes
- Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
- Description of Xist geometry input parameters and their defaults
- Interpretation of Xist outputs for validation of unit performance
Suggested Participants

Horizons Symposium on Heat Transfer in Environmental Technologies |
Four Seasons Hotel
Baltimore Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Date: April 21-22, 2022
Our Horizons Symposium will provide a platform for industry, academia, and government research staff to network, discuss problems, and propose solutions for heat transfer in environmental technology applications. This two-day event will feature presentations and panel sessions on
- WATER QUALITY: Desalination, wastewater treatment, zero liquid discharge systems, water fouling
- AIR QUALITY: Carbon capture, sulfur reduction, indoor air quality, combustion systems NOx reduction, alternative refrigerants
- RENEWABLE ENERGY: Geothermal, direct solar thermal, wind, ocean thermal, fuel cells
Horizons Symposiums, established and held in the early 1990s, were well received, with diverse topics that created a collaborative environment and generated new research and development opportunities. We look forward to the return of this symposium.

Heat Exchanger Fouling & Cleaning Conference XIV |
Postponed until 2022
With the continued uncertainty involving the global pandemic, we have consulted with the Technical Committee and made the difficult decision to postpone the Heat Exchanger Fouling & Cleaning Conference until June 2022.
Although we will miss seeing you next year in Austria, our priority is the health and safety of attendees and staff, and we believe that postponing the conference is the best solution to ensure this. We also wish to maintain the continued success by keeping with its current in-person format, which encourages discussion and interaction.
For those of you who submitted an abstract, we thank you and, unless you notify us otherwise, will hold them for consideration at our re-scheduled event.
We remain excited to host you and will provide more information on specific dates as soon as possible. For now, we appreciate your understanding and wish you all the best. We look forward to seeing you in June 2022!
