API 660 Style ReportsAutomatically updated API style reports provide professional quality reporting.

Boiling Regimes Specific boiling regime heat transfer methods with critical heat flux constraints.

Condensing RegimesSpecific condensing methods best represent heat transfer mechanisms.

Sealing DevicesOptional dummy tubes and sealing strip specifications.

OverdesignHeat reversal zones calculate and determine overdesign limitations.

The built-in heat exchanger rating capabilities for Air Coolers and Shell and Tube Heat Exchangers in VMGSim™ gives you accurate and reliable hardware modelling. The heat transfer rating models provide accessible multipliers, which in combination with the model regression tool, makes plant data matching easy.

Heat Exchanger Rating

• Baffle, sealing device, and clearance options• All front and rear cover TEMA configurations• Calculated shellside stream analysis• Inlet and oulet nozzle specifications• Transverse high-low fin option• Full API 660 reporting

Air Cooler Rating

• Cross or counter flow pathways• Tube and fin material selection• Multipliers for matching running plant data• Transverse high-low fin option• Preferred pressure drop correlation selection - Colebrook - Blasius - Lockhart Martinelli - Oliemans - Dukler - Laminar - Churchill - Petalas

SENSITIVITY TRENDING is available using built-in case studies to help you understand your plant operations in greater detail.

AIR COOLER RATING is now available in VMGSim™ heat exchanging unit operations. Match plant data with the flexible configuration options and find limitations or optimization opportunities with case studies—all in a process flowsheet environment.

High-Low FinsSelect and customize from a selection of different transverse fin options.

Flow Pathway Choose flow pathways through air cooler bundles.

Sealing DevicesSee effects of reduced bypass with optional dummy tubes.

Tube Layout Select tube layouts to best represent plant configurations.

OverdesignHeat zones calculate and determine overdesign limitations.

Equipment Data Sheets

• Use over 100 TEMA or API engineering data sheets built into VMGSim™• Create, store, and publish equipment data sheets automatically

Pinch Analysis Tool

• Design more efficient heat exchanger networks• Add all plate-fin, shell and tube, and air coolers

PLATE-FIN HEAT EXCHANGER RATING TOOLMake your models rigorous and more predictive by using the multisided heat exchanger unit operation rating tool to model your compact plate-fin heat exchangers.
