The heat transfer in shell and tube heat exchangers is a complex matter due to coupling of inside and outside heat transfer. If you need an easily accesibble way to calculate shell and tube heat exchangers, Calor Online is one choice. Based on validated calculation formulas from VDI Heat Atlas and validated fluid data from CoolProp library the code has been developped in modern C++. So you will profit from a fast and stable calculation software which helps you to design shell and tube heat exchangers in a precise and quick way. As a result you will safe money and time in development and engineering and become more efficient.
You will save even more: You can run Calor Online as web service: Nothing must be ordered, installed or upgraded. No costs of system administration, no costs of ownership. If you have already a heat exchanger calculation software, you can use Calor Online in addition to your software you already use. If you are not in office and you need to calculate a heat exchanger too, you just need a web connection and a computer or a mobile device, e.g. tablet or smartphone. Then you will be able to do the heat exchanger calculation.
To close, the software itself is not bound to shell and tube heat exchangers and to the CoolProp library. The flexible concept allows to extend the software to other heat exchanger types as well as other fluid property libraries (including grid data).
Your benefits at a glance:
- Validated calculation methods from VDI Heat Atlas,
- Validated fluid data from CoolProp library,
- Fast and stable implementation in modern C++,
- Calculations with validated methods can save measurement costs and reduce development time,
- As a web service there are no costs of ownership: no installation and no upgrades are needed,
- The calculation can be done on desktop computers as well as on smartphones and tablets, just an internet connection is needed.
