Design to the TEMA Standard and ASME UHX Rules
Produce best-in-class mechanical designs to the TEMA Standard and ASME UHX rules using COMPRESS. Quickly model heat exchangers while minimizing materials and labor. Highlights include:

• Design-specific optimization recommendations
• A time-saving 3D user interface
• An input mode specifically tailored to building new heat exchangers
• An input mode focused on rating existing equipment
• Both detailed and abbreviated report formats
• Automatic generation of general arrangement drawings
• A tube field layout capability
• A bi-directional interface with HTRI's Xchanger Suite

Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Designs
COMPRESS specializes in designing the following types of shell and tube heat exchangers:

• Fixed Tubesheet
• U-Tube
• Floating Tubesheet

Bi-Directional Interface with HTRI's Xchanger Suite
To easy enable collaboration between Mechanical and Thermal Designers, COMPRESS offers a bi-directional interface with HTRI's Xchanger Suite.

HTRI Xchanger Suite users can access shell and tube heat exchanger (Xist) files directly from within COMPRESS. Required mechanical details not present in the HTRI file are automatically provided as well as suggestions for optimal thicknesses for various exchanger components. This linkage allows for quick investigation of the effects of mechanical changes on exchanger performance. Visit HTRI-net.com to learn more about Xchanger Suite.
