Heat Exchanger Design Program
Heat Exchanger Design Program
(OP)
Hello,
I am currently working with a vendor on a design for a shell and tube heat exchanger. I have completed a design using Aspen EDR, and submitted a specification sheet based on that design for bids. One of the vendors has commented that my design is undersurfaced for the specified duty. They are using a program called AIDEX by A.I.D. Inc. I have never heard of this program before, and am only familiar with EDR or HTRI.
Has anyone know anything about AIDEX, and how its calculations compare to Aspen or HTRI?
Thank you,
David

Thank you for the offer. May I ask what program you use? I would like to have my Aspen design checked by HTRI.

What process is the shell and tube designed for?

I could review your design and then we can discuss. I use ASPEN EDR though.
