Key Engineering Features
HTRI Thermal Verification
We verify every heat exchanger sizing using HTRI to guarantee the thermal duty, calculate shell-side velocity, and run tube vibration checks.
PV Elite ASME Calculation
Mechanical calculations for thickness, nozzle reinforcements, and tube-sheet dimensions are run in PV Elite to ensure safety under extreme pressure.
CFD Flow Simulation
Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations verify flow distributions inside channels, eliminating stagnation areas and optimizing pressure drops.
