Alliance with Honeywell to result in new products and services
In September 2009, Heat Transfer Research, Inc., and Honeywell® entered into a strategic alliance, bringing added value to members and customers of both companies.
In early 2010, Honeywell’s UniSim® heat exchanger software will be available for licensing directly from HTRI, providing companies around the world with a single source for both the industry leading HTRI Xchanger Suite® and Honeywell’s heat exchanger modules. Additionally, Honeywell is providing related technology to aid in the development of future products and services.
This alliance is a very positive development for HTRI and its members. With access to independently conducted research and software development dating back to 1971, we will be able to refine our existing efforts, accelerate development of new research areas, and provide members with more software options.
Among these options is a translation tool that will allow Xchanger Suite to open and convert cases from Honeywell’s UniSim heat exchanger modules as well as other thermal software products. This valuable tool builds on Honeywell’s case portability with process simulation products from Aspen Technology. The translation tool is in development and will be available to HTRI members in the first quarter of 2010.
HTRI and Honeywell also will work together to create a closer integration between Xchanger Suite and Honeywell’s UniSim® Design process simulator. This collaboration will provide best-in-class thermal simulation options to process designers and manufacturers.
We will have further news and announcements in the coming months about products and licensing options. For more information about the alliance and our near-term plans, please see the Honeywell Alliance Frequently Asked Questions page or contact Ray Toler, Manager, Marketing, at 979.690.5050.
