What's new in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design 3.6.0.1
Aug 29, 2023
- Fixed a bug in license display
- Added error check for importing physical properties
New in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design 3.6.0.0 (Oct 18, 2022)
- Update error log viewer, the software will now issue messages in the error log that
- Include the following types:
- ERROR: This type of messages is used for errors in input or results, the software will stop until errors are fixed by the user
- WARNING: This type of message is used for warning when parameters are exceeded, the software will continue buy some results may be invalid
- MESSAGE: This type of message is used for general software informative messages
- INFO: This type of message is used to provide additional information and guidance during operation
- New Features:
- Added kern tube counts
- Automate multiple cases by simply setting the changing parameters and allowing the software to iterate through these parameters and generate final results.
- Iterate through kern tube counts using the multiple cases feature
- Automated mode for multiple case simulation: instead of manually changing values to add a case, this mode
- Will do the exact without user intervention. The manual mode is still avialable too.
- You can now perform a simulation study by changing any of the parameters under the Study scenarios below:
- Study parameters 1:
- Tube outer diameter, Tube number of passes, Tube length, Number of tubes, Baffle spacing
- Study parameters 2:
- Uses kern tube counts to iterated between Shell diameters to obtain the number of tubes for a given number of passes.
- User can set the study parameters and the software will automate the calculation steps and add the final result to summary screen
- Where the changes between each can can be detected.
- This case study mode will automate the manual input for trial and error to optimise results.

- Upgrade multi case feature to allow cases to be reloaded from a case list window Backup and restore user databases feature
- Some Optimisation to saving cases feature
- Update to Nusselt user number correlations, user can designate correlation side "Shell", "Tube" or "Both
New in Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Design 3.2.0.0 (May 18, 2017)
- Migrated to Microsoft .net Framework 4.5
- Improve loading of default and custom software settings for design mode
- Software now remembers the last file name saved during run time, and prompt for a new file name if a new case is created, this avoids having to keep typing in the filename and set location if you are re-saving the same project
- More temperature estimation cases covered, the software can now estimate any two unknown temperatures, providing that the temperatures are on different sides, the heat load/duty is known and the flow rates on both sides are known
- Added Tube clearance calculation for both rating and design modes
- Added illustration drawing for tube pitch
- Issue warning when tube pitch is smaller than or equal to the tube outer diameter.
