Aspen Tasc+™

Design, checking, and simulation of shell & tube, double pipe, or multi-tube hairpin exchangers.

Aspen Tasc+ performs the design for all major industrial shell & tube exchanger equipment types and applications, including single phase, condensation, and evaporation.

Features

  • Research-Based Correlations: Models and correlations are based on more than 35 years of Aspen HTFS proprietary research, providing the user with assurance of reliable designs.
  • Optimized Designs: Aspen Tasc+ automates the design optimization process, allowing for cost savings of up to 30% or more.
  • Physical Properties: Properties can be transferred from AspenTech’s steady-state simulators, or retrieved from Aspen Properties®, Aspen COMThermo®, or the heritage Aspen B-JAC™ database. More than 15,000 components and 30 vapor liquid equilibrium methods are available.
  • Flow-Induced Vibration Checks: Rigorous HTFS research validated checks, as well as checks with the TEMA method, are used to identify vibration problems for shell-side process streams.
  • Graphics: Fully dimensioned setting plan and interactive tubesheet layout are available.
  • Integrated with Aspen Plus® & Aspen HYSYS®: High-level run-time integration enables engineers to rigorously model heat exchanger operation and identify capital savings opportunities within the context of the overall process.
  • Thermal and Mechanical Integration: Bi-directional integration with Aspen Teams® allows for efficient optimization to thermal and mechanical constraints.

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 for 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, exchanger mechanical design, cost estimation, and drawings production, which are pre-requisite for cost effective projects.
