Heat Integration (HI) requires precise knowledge and complex calculations, and the SPIL-HX software package can provide functionality for engineers to design and evaluate heat exchangers, as well as provide design solutions for waste gas oxidizers and automatic heat exchanger network synthesis and retrofit.
Heat Integration (HI) with heat exchangers requires intimate knowledge and intensive calculations to set energy-saving targets to achieve the goal of efficient energy utilisation. The Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger (STHX) Design Software Module, or SPIL-HX package developed by the SPIL team, offers features that support engineers to design and rate original STHXs, STHXs coupled with the shell-side enhancement technologies, i.e., with segmented baffles and with helical baffles. This software tool also provides design solutions for the Waste Gas Compact Thermal Oxidiser (WGCTO), identifying the unit design capable of simultaneous combustion and heat exchange for waste gases. SPIL-HX package is also capable of automatic Heat Exchanger Network (HEN) synthesis and retrofit. With the built-in algorithm, the software can provide the optimal solution for HI, which significantly reduces operating, capital, and design costs. A user-friendly interface facilitates the use of the developed software.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
