Technology Advances in Xchanger Suite 8 Short Course (US$650)
Instructor: Tom Lestina
Be one of the first to investigate the new and enhanced features in HTRI Xchanger Suite 8. In this short course, you will also learn how HTRI’s latest method improvements will influence your cases and optimize your designs.
Key Topics
- Improved navigation and other changes to the Xchanger Suite interface
- New graphing capabilities
- Changes to methods including shellside condensation, shellside boiling, piping pressure drop, flow regime maps, enhanced surface heat transfer, and Stream Analysis
Suggested Participants
Current and prospective Xchanger Suite end users

Vibration Analysis Short Course (US$650)
Instructor: Tom Lestina
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
