HTRI Xchanger Suite 7.3.2

Heat Transfer Research, Inc. has launched HTRI Xchanger Suite 7.3.2 software is considered the most advanced available for the design, rating, and simulation of heat exchangers.

Below are just a few of many improvements:

- Any HTRI member with a verified login can now download and install Xchanger Suite 7.3. (Previously, only authorized accounts such as company contacts could download the Xchanger Suite installer.)
- We added an option to specify an initial heat load estimate for simulation calculations in Xist®, Xhpe®, and Xjpe® to speed execution and improve chances of convergence.
- Initial heat load guess and convergence logic was enhanced to improve execution speed in Xist, Xhpe, and Xjpe.
- The issue of calculated pressure drops exceeding operating pressure in Xist, Xhpe, Xjpe, and Xace® has been mitigated by limiting local pressures in each increment to a low limit, which allows calculations to continue and provide an answer. Warnings are issued when this occurs.
- New heat transfer and hydraulic methods were implemented in Xist to handle kettle bundles partially submerged in liquid.
- New pressure drop methods have been implemented for U-tube bends in Xist.
- Tubeside mist flow heat transfer correlations are now available for falling film evaporators in Xist.
- A new U-bend schedule report was added that shows row designation, number of U-bends, straight length, bend diameter, and total length for Xist and Xhpe.
- The installer can now update a machine with an earlier version (Xchanger Suite 7.0, 7.1, 7.2 or 7.2.1) or install a completely new version of Xchanger Suite 7.3. A previous version is not required.


About HTRI Xchanger Suite. HTRI Xchanger Suite, from the global leader in process heat transfer and heat exchanger technology, includes components for heat transfer and associated calculations of heat exchangers and fired heaters. HTRI’s calculation methods are backed by more than 55 years of extensive research and data collected on industrially relevant heat transfer equipment. Based on the results of this ongoing effort, we update our methods to meet your evolving engineering needs.

All Xchanger Suite components are highly flexible, allowing rigorous specification of the exchanger geometry. This capability makes the best use of HTRI’s proprietary heat transfer and pressure drop correlations and allows the most accurate performance predictions possible for all exchangers.
