Heat exchangers are some of the most expensive pieces of process equipment and must be sized properly for safety and profitability concerns. Pressure losses and heat transfer must be well understood. AFT Fathom and AFT Arrow allow users to model heat exchangers within their piping systems. Pressure loss models include input K factors, resistance curves, or tube bundle information. When energy balances are being considered, users can choose from 11 heat transfer methods to best meet their hydraulic modeling needs.
