Plate Heat Exchangers

The purpose of this exercise is to guide you to design a simple single-phase

heat exchanger using Aspen Plate. The Design calculation will determine the
size of the exchanger.

Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating software allows you to create a new model
by clicking File  New or restart from an existing model by navigating to the
file using the Open or recently opened cases associated with
the Recent command.

For a new model, click New select Plate Exchanger (Plate) and
click Create to start modeling a new exchanger.

To change the units entered into the program:

1. Use the Set Units option on the Home ribbon Units group.

2. Choose the desired unit from the Set Units drop-down for
each unit field. In this example, please set to the SI units.

Tip: EDR allows you to set default Units of Measure. This can be
accomplished from File | Options | General.

In the Design mode, the program calculates the size of the exchanger, number
of exchanger, plate configuration and number of plates for specified process
equipment. The Run Mode group allows you to set the appropriate calculation
mode.

The Process Data form will display. Alternatively you can use the EDR
Navigator to navigate to the Process Data form.

Enter The Process Data

The process data for this exercise is listed in the following table:

Fluid Units Hot Side Cold Side

Fuel Oil Boiler Feedwater
Total Flowrate kg/h 3400 2300
Temperature (In/ Out) °C 113 / 100 80 / 90
Operating Pressure (absolute) bar (abs) 8 13
Fouling Resistance (min) m2 K/W 0.00002 0.0002

Use this information to complete the Process Data tab information. Please note
that you need to change the unit of Mass flow rate (total) to kg/h.

Enter The Physical Property Data

Property data is supplied at two temperature points, hot stream and cold
stream.

Complete the Physical Property Data, Composition information for the hot
side fluid. On the Composition tab, by default, User specified properties is
selected as the Physical property package.

Use the EDR Navigator to navigate to Input | Physical Property Data | Hot
Stream (1) Properties, and then enter the data provided below on
the Properties tab.

Property Units 1 2
Temperature C 213 168
Liquid density kg/m3 879.4 909.8
Liquid specific heat kJ/(kg*K) 2.34 2.18
Liquid viscosity mPa*s 1.94 3.37
Liquid thermal cond. W/(m*K) 0.1 0.107

By default, two pressure levels are available. In this example data of only one
pressure level is to be entered. To delete the extra pressure level, highlight the
second pressure level in the Pressures column and click Delete Set.

Note: The Overwrite Properties check box is selected when directly inputting
properties.

Define cold stream data by going to the EDR Navigator and clicking Input |
Physical Property Data | Cold Stream (2) Compositions. On the
Compositions tab, use the drop-down to specify the Physical property
package.

You have the choice of several databanks:

1. B-JAC Databank
2. COM Thermo
3. Aspen Properties
4. User specified properties

Select the Aspen Properties databank as the Physical property package, and
then click Search Databank at the bottom of the grid.

The Find Components dialog box appears. In this example, you need to
add Water.

Type in the first few letters of the required fluid in the Name or Alias field.
Matching components appear in the grid. Highlight desired components from
the list, and click Add selected compounds to add the selection to
the Selected Components list. Confirm the selection by clicking Use Selected
Compounds.

Tip: You can add multiple compounds also.

For accurate properties of water, we need to select the appropriate property

method. Click on the Property Methods tab and select STEAMNBS (now NIST,
US National Institute for Standards and Technology and a major source of
physical property information).

Define cold stream properties by going to the EDR Navigator and clicking Input
| Physical Property Data | Cold Stream Properties. On the Properties tab,
click Get Properties to have the system calculate the properties of water at the
default pressure and temperature range. The property table will be populated
with data across a number of points that will be used when the calculation is
run.

Save & Run Case

Once all required data has been entered, it is important to save the dataset.

Do so by going to File | Save As. Once saved, run your case by clicking or
pressing F5. This is a design case. Running the case calculates the Exchanger
Geometry which can be found on the EDR Navigator tree under Input.

Tip: EDR allows you to automatically save your work at defined time intervals.
Go to File | Options | General to view save options.

Viewing The Results

The Results section on the EDR Navigator becomes available after the run is
complete.

The Results Summary includes any calculation messages, a recap of designs

and an overall summary of the Plate Exchanger.

To view the general performance section, click Check Performance in

the Results group on the ribbon.

Tip: Export Exchanger summary information to a Word document by going

to File | Export.

Creating a Checking Case

The exchanger design can now be converted into a checking case. On

the Home ribbon tab, in the Run Mode group, click Rating/Checking. A
dialog box will open to confirm whether to use the current design geometry in
the rating/checking mode or to start a new rating case. Click Use Current and
the program will transfer the previously calculated geometry information.

Note: On the Applications Options form, the Calculation mode will now be
set to Rating / Checking.

Save the dataset by going to File | Save As. Once saved, run your case by
clicking or pressing F5.

The program will calculate Heat Transfer information which can be found
under Results | Thermal/Hydraulic Summary. This information is used to
calculate the duty and area ratio. The Area Ratio will allow you to determine
whether the exchanger is oversized or undersized for the given process
conditions.

Testimonials
Here's what some of our previous clients have said about the impact of our
training programs.

I took the Process Design Engineering (ENG 101) after finishing the Aspen
Hysys Basic class. During this half-month class I got and learnt a lot of very
useful and practical knowledge about the oil &gas process design and
simulation. The module materials are very informative and well organized
which make me very easy to understand. Also thanks a lot to my instructor
Jenny for her patience to answer any doubts I have during the class.
Furthermore the supplementary material for each module is very helpful to
give me more detailed information about each module content. In general I
am very satisfied and comfortable with this class and it is beyond my
expectation.

- YUECUN LOU (Terry)

Graduate Assistant (Ph.D) at University of Toledo

HYSYS offered here is a Great course for new engineers and great refresher
for the experienced people.....Do it if you are looking for Value for your
Money!!
- ANKIT VYAS

Houston, USA

I consider OMESOL a great on-line institute for anybody who wants to

improve his / her knowledge about Process Engineering and a lots of other
trainings. Please, go ahead and book any training you want, you will really
enjoy the courses and the way the teachers teach their lessons. Thanks a lot
OMESOL Team and I would like to say a special thanks to my teachers for the
great job they have done during my courses. Again, if you want to learn on-
line, I recommend OMESOL.
