http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/htri-xchanger-suite 1/2

TRI X changer Suite, from the global leader in process heat transfer and heat exchanger technology, includes components forat transfer and associated calculations of heat exchangers and red heaters. Methods contained in the HTRI calculations areegrated in the Windows interface and supported by the extensive data collected by HTRI on industrial-sized heat transfer

uipment for over 45 years. Ongoing research at our state-of-the-art facility means that our methods are continually updatedmeet your evolving engineering needs.

l X changer Suite components are highly exible, allowing rigorous speci cation of the exchanger geometry. This capabilityakes the best use of HTRI’s proprietary heat transfer and pressure drop correlations and allows the most accuraterformance predictions possible for all exchangers.
