Software

HTRI methods and software—based on extensive research data collected on industrial-sized heat transfer equipment—have remained the industry standard for nearly 50 years. Our research is ongoing and unparalleled. As we obtain and analyze new data on shell-and-tube and non-tubular heat exchangers, air coolers, heat recovery bundles, and fired heaters, we update our methods and incorporate them into the next version of our software.

Program	Description	Information Sheet
HTRI Xchanger Suite 6	HTRI Xchanger Suite^® is an integrated graphical user environment for the design and rating of heat exchangers. All components of the suite—Xace^®, Xfh^®, Xhpe^®, Xist^®, Xjpe^®, Xphe^®, Xspe^®, Xtlo^®, and Xvib^®—work together.
Xace	Design, rating, and simulation of air-cooled heat exchangers, heat recovery bundles, and air preheaters
Xfh	Simulation of fired heaters
Xhpe	Design, rating, and simulation of hairpin heat exchangers
Xist	Design, rating, and simulation of single- and two-phase shell-and-tube heat exchangers, including kettle and thermosiphon reboilers, falling film evaporators, and reflux condensers
Xjpe	Design, rating, and simulation of jacketed pipe heat exchangers
Xphe	Design, rating, and simulation of plate-and-frame heat exchangers
Xspe	Rating and simulation of spiral plate heat exchangers
Xtlo	Graphical standalone rigorous tube layout software; also integrated with Xist
Xvib	Rigorous flow-induced vibration analysis of individual tubes in a heat exchanger bundle
