UNILAB UNISUITE SHELL

UNILAB UNISUITE is the smart platform and unique tool for design and rating of shell & tube, plate, tube in tube and coaxial heat exchangers.
All software use the library REFPROP of NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology). It also comprises the
thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of more than 300 liquids & gases, and 12 mixtures of liquids, many of
them commonly used in the Chemical & Petrochemical fields. Each software integrates correction factors, which lets
the user to align results with the experimental data. Our calculation models are supported by almost 30 years of research & expertise. Our products represent a consolidated value for the HVAC industry, and they can be used in the Power Generation, Food & Pharmaceutical industries.
UNILAB UNISUITE SHELL is the only software in the world that
allows the automated design of a new heat exchanger from zero
(Design from Scratch) without specifying any dimensional parameters! With UNISUITE SHELL, simply selecting the fluids, setting the working conditions (temperatures and required capacity)
and the desired tube model, the software will generate in a few
seconds a number of high-efficiency heat exchangers that
achieve the required capacity. It will also generate a 3D drawing
in 1:1 scale, ready to be exported for further analysis. You can
also save it into the programs database so that you can create a
new series of exchangers, or just recall e previous project.
The new heat exchanger will be compatible with the TEMA 9 in
all its prerogatives. Additionally, if the required capacity is too
high, the software will automatically split the power required into
a finite number of exchangers.
UNISUITE SHELL allows you to select, rate or design exchangers
in 7 different calculation typologies: fluid-fluid, evaporation inside/outside tubes, condensation inside/outside tubes, flooded
evaporators, steam.

FUNCTIONALITIES
Available no. 7 calculation modalities: fluid-fluid, condensation inside tubes, condensation outside tubes, evaporatCalculation
modality
ing inside tubes, flooded evaporator, steam inside tubes and steam outside tubes
Available no. 5 calculations typologies:
- Free calculation: you have to specify all the exchangers dimensional parameters from scratch
- Calculation with plate from archive: you have to specify only the shell parameters. The plate will be taken from the
archive
Calculation
typologies
- Verify heat exchanger: you just verify an exchanger from the archive
- Selection with plate from archive: it uses the plates from the archive to perform a selection, designing a new exchanger each time, suitable with the customer requirements
- Heat exchangers selection: it selects an exchanger suitable with the customer requirements
In Free calculation and Calculation with plate from archive, the user can choose:
- Verify: the user can rate the capacity and the pressure drops, knowing all the geometrical parameters of the exchanger and work conditions, changing one or more input data at the same time (for example: fluid flow, fluid, plate
type, tube type, fluid temperatures, etc)
- Design: it is possible to insert the work conditions and the capacity required, without knowing all the geometrical

parameters, to build the best exchanger for the required capacity
modes
- Design from scratch: allows the complete design of a brand new exchanger from scratch. In case you need to
design a special exchanger and you lack the time to use a complex software, and set all the parameters, with our
software you just have to select the fluids, set the working conditions and the required capacity, click on the
Automatic calculation box and you are done. With this new feature you can just type the required capacity and
click a button, and then the software will design a brand new exchanger without any dimensional parameter set in.
This lets you design a special exchanger, that perfectly matches the requirements of the customer, in just no time
