Aspen Air Cooled Exchanger

(formerly Aspen Acol+™)

Provides for the design, checking, and simulation of air-cooled or other crossflow heat exchangers

Aspen Air Cooled Exchanger performs the calculations for air-cooled and other crossflow heat exchangers for all common process applications, including single phase, condensation, and evaporation. X-side applications include dry air, wet air, or gas mixtures.

Features

• Research-Based Correlations: Assures reliable designs using models and correlations that are based on more than 35 years of Aspen HTFS proprietary research.
• Optimized Designs: Automates the design optimization process by optimizing on both capital and operating costs, allowing for cost savings of up to 30% or more.
• Simulation: Offers seven simulation options developed to suit the requirements of exchanger users, manufacturers, and engineering contractors.
• Physical Properties: Supports the transfer of properties from AspenTech’s steady state simulators, Aspen Properties®, Aspen HYSYS Thermodynamics COM Interface®, or the heritage Aspen B-JAC™ database. More than 15,000 components and 30 vapor liquid equilibrium methods are available.
• Graphics: Provides setting plan drawing and interactive tube layout drawing for simple and complex pass arrangements.
• Integrated with Aspen Plus® & Aspen HYSYS®: Enables engineers to rigorously model heat exchanger operation and identify both capital and operational savings opportunities within the context of the overall process.

Benefits

• Improved design: Provides optimized equipment designs for a given set of process conditions, resulting in typical savings of 10-30% on the equipment cost per heat exchanger.
• Improved process operations: Integration with process simulators allows studies to be conducted resulting in reduced energy and operational costs.
• Increased engineering efficiency: Enables increased emphasis on fast-track, front-end engineering through fully integrated tools for process design, exchanger thermal sizing, cost estimation, and drawings production, which are pre-requisite for cost-effective projects.
