Proprietary Contracts

In addition to our research and software methods, HTRI offers a variety of heat transfer related services. These services are available to both member and non-member companies.

Consulting
Available to both members and non-members, these services help companies solve complex thermal and fluid flow challenges by leveraging HTRI's proprietary software and staff expertise. Services include thermal and hydraulic design rating, vibration analysis, and performance troubleshooting.
Custom Software Solutions
An HTRI-developed solution enables Members to demonstrate the value of their technology using software that captures complex thermal and hydraulic behavior, without the burden of developing and maintaining standalone software.
Proprietary Testing
With twelve operating research units, the RTC provides a controlled environment to test emerging heat transfer technologies and process flow phenomena.
Heat exchanger management with SmartPM™
SmartPM is HTRI's innovative digital transformation (DX) software that is helping operators of heat exchanger and fired heater networks turn plant data into actionable performance insights. The SmartPM team is available for building, commissioning and managing models, including ongoing updating, reporting KPIs and cleaning recommendations.
Fouling Services
With three designated units, our fouling team uses highly refined automated processes to produce high quality, repeatable data to assist in reducing operational risks.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
CFD simulation—guided by real-world experience and our own validating data—provides actionable insights into heat exchanger performance issues encountered during design, operation, and uprating.
Xchanger Suite^® and Xfh^® Ultra model building
For existing exchangers and fired heaters in your fleet without HTRI models, our expert team can create high-definition, validated files for performance monitoring using HTRIconnect™ or SmartPM.

We have the knowledge and tools to thoroughly examine your heat exchanger problems. When accuracy matters, you can count on HTRI.
