Heat Exchanger Tube Bundle Calculations

With tube bundle replacement being a large part of the Heat Exchanger industry, COMPRESS allows to model only the tube bundle.

Featured Heat Exchanger Design Capabilities

Efficient Modeling Simplify heat exchanger design with a guided workflow and built-in ASME and TEMA code compliance. Design Conditions Simplify complex heat exchanger design by allowing multiple operating conditions to be evaluated simultaneously, including true MAWP determination. Tube Bundle Streamline tube bundle replacement by modeling and analyzing only the bundle without recreating the full exchanger. Multiple Codes Supports multiple ASME and TEMA code editions, automatically applying the correct allowable stress values for each. Flange Design Automate complex flange analysis by accounting for shared bolting, governing loads, and iterating conditions to determine accurate MAWP. FEA for Expansion Joints Integrated FEA for TEMA expansion joints, enabling fast, automated analysis with minimal setup and optimized performance. Lift Lugs for Channels Enable lift lug design directly on exchanger subassemblies, eliminating the need to recreate components in separate files. ASME Reports Generate comprehensive, easy-to-navigate ASME calculation reports covering all design and hydrotest conditions. ASME PCC-1 Appendix O Evaluate bolted joints per PCC-1 Appendix O, determining optimal bolt stress and torque while ensuring gasket, bolt, and flange integrity. Automated Drawings The Codeware Interface is an Autodesk Inventor add-in that generates drawings and solid models from COMPRESS designs Finite Element Analysis in COMPRESS
