    Xist Workshop  (US$450)

    Instructors: Peter Joosten and Matthew Berger

    This workshop is devoted to the shell-and-tube exchanger geometries handled only by Xist. The course focuses on the extensive options available in Xist and how you can use these methods effectively to solve several example problems. You will leave the class knowing how to take full advantage of the features this robust tool offers.

    Key Topics

    • Overview of Xist interface and the benefits of HTRI methods
    • Process specifications rules for rating, simulation, and design
    • Guidelines for specifying fluid properties
    • Description of Xist geometry input parameters and their defaults
    • Interpretation of Xist outputs for validation of unit performance

     

    Suggested Participants

    Designers of shell-and-tube heat exchangers and process engineers who evaluate their performance

    HTRI Software

    This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xchanger Suite® component Xist® 

    Course Credits: 6 hours (PDH/CEU)

    Special Topics in Xist Short Course  (US$650)

    Instructors: Peter Joosten and Matthew Berger

    This short course moves beyond the fundamentals of thermal design to focus on specific design challenges associated with a range of service types. Presented as a series of case studies, each topic is introduced by the instructor before participants delve into Xist to work on solutions which are ultimately discussed amongst the group. The knowledge attained from this short course will allow you to tackle related design challenges in your future work.

    Case studies include:

    • Viscous shellside coolers
    • Feed-effluent exchangers
    • Kettle reboilers
    • Falling film evaporators

     

    Suggested Participants

    Experienced Xist users who troubleshoot cases and evaluate shell-and-tube exchanger performance

    HTRI Software

    This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xchanger Suite® components Xist® and Xvib®

    Course Credits: 6 hours (PDH/CEU)

    Special Topics in Xace Short Course  (US$650)

    Instructors: Peter Joosten and Matthew Berger

    Improve your understanding of the methods in Xace and develop new skills to model difficult cases. This short course focuses on improving thermal predictions, interpreting results, troubleshooting cases and applying workarounds. Even the most experienced thermal designers will gain new insight into how to improve thermal analyses using Xace.

    Case studies include:

    • Modeling units with redundancy fans (3x50% fans)
    • Improving accuracy of predicted driver power
    • Rating natural draft (fans-off) cases
    • Multiple service units

     

    Suggested Participants

    Experienced Xace users who rate, design and troubleshoot air-cooled heat exchangers

    HTRI Software

    This course will make use of the following HTRI software: Xchanger Suite® component Xace® 

    Course Credits: 6 hours (PDH/CEU)
