Aspen Acol+™
Aspen Acol+ is the latest generation of thermal design software for detailed simulation and optimized design of air-cooled heat exchangers.
Aspen Acol+ allows you to:
- Design the most economical exchanger for your application
- Take assurance of operational performance that derives from Aspen HTFS+™ proprietary research-based methods
- Handle a wide range of exchanger services, from multi-component condensing to boiling heat recovery and de-humidifying
- Easily “plug” your crossflow exchanger designs into AspenTech’s steady-state simulator so you can accurately evaluate performance in the context of your overall process
Design
Aspen Acol+ optimizes the selection based on capital and operating costs.
Check (Rate)
Aspen Acol+ allows you to determine quickly if a given exchanger will have sufficient area to achieve a specified duty.
Simulate
Aspen Acol+ offers for prediction of inlet/outlet temperatures, mass flows, or process fouling
In addition, Aspen Acol+ can evaluate the operating point, in terms of X-side flow and thermal duty, for a defined fan performance curve.
Aspen Acol+ has a high-level run-time interface with Aspen Plus® and Aspen HYSYS® allowing you to evaluate accurately the performance of actual heat exchangers within a plant or process.
