Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger Design

PHex is an easy to use tool which demonstrates the thermal calculations of Gasketed Plate
Heat Exchangers

PHex is an easy to use tool which demonstrates the thermal calculations of Gasketed Plate
Heat Exchangers, The plate dimensions and materials can be entered, this includes the size
of plate heat exchanger and chevron angle (25 to 65 degrees). Below is a list of main
features: 1. Support S.I Units and English (U.S) Units of measurement 2. Import
physical properties data to hot side and cold side from Microsoft Excel & from WeBBusterZ
Physical properties database (included!) 3. Save/Load results -Results- 4. Export
Results to Engineering Data sheet in Microsoft Excel for editing 5. Export Results
summary to Microsoft excel or Print Results summary. -Calculations- 6. Temperature and
Flow rate estimation in the event of insufficient data. 7. Heat load required (clean or
fouled) calculations. 8. Duty clean / dirty calculations 9. Total effective area
calculation. 10. Surface area calculation. 11. Number of plates calculations. 12.
Overall Coefficient (clean / dirty) calculations. 13. Pressure drop Channel/Port/Total
for Hot side and cold side Calculations. 14. Plate heat exchanger dimension
calculations. 15. Velocity through ports, Mass velocity through channel/ports
calculations. 16. Reynolds and Nusselt numbers calculations. 17. Heat transfer
coefficient calculations -Included Databases:- 18. Estimate the Physical properties of
pure components for more than 1450 components; the database has the ability to estimate
Thermal Conductivity, Density, Heat Capacity and Viscosity. The database also included
critical properties, boiling and melting points and come as separate software but easily
integrated with the software. 19. Create your own database of Plates and Components. You
can add your fluid physical properties and load the data to your project. 20. Fouling
factors 21. Overall heat transfer coefficients 22. Material Thermal Conductivities
