Design Heat Exchangers

Challenge
Difficult to minimize CAPEX for heat exchangers Significant engineering man-hours in the design process Inability to recognize design conflicts at an early stage (between thermal and mechanical)

Impact Challenge
Increase in heat exchanger CAPEX Increased cost of engineering

Project delays

Recognize thermal and mechanical design conflicts early in the design process

Use less engineering effort and resources

Increased Costs

Solution

Optimal design with 30% less CAPEX 30% fewer man-hours; on-time delivery
