Fast, accurate analysis of heat-exchanger performance
HTRI
Heat-exchanger fouling is a top concern for heat transfer engineers. HTRI Edgeview software helps identify operating regimes that will reduce fouling, minimize downtime, lower utilities costs and increase production. Edgeview is compatible with this company’s Xchanger Suite (photo), and provides evaluation and indicators of heat-exchanger performance. The software calculates fouling resistance for sensible and phase-change shell-and-tube equipment. With its multiple thermal performance models and expert analysis algorithms, Edgeview rapidly analyzes plant operating data, troubleshoots heat-exchanger performance issues, and diagnoses potential problems. Results are displayed using built-in graphing and reporting capabilities. — HTRI, Navasota, Tex.
