WTS module package
Design of shell-and-tube heat exchangers
Program features
WTS is a design / rating and simulation program for shell-and-tube heat exchangers for gases and liquids as well as condensing other pure substances. There are additional modules to calculate condensation processes for wet gases (partial condensation).

Program structure
WTS is a combination of modules of the LV ATLAS system. The theory is based on the correlations of the LV Heat Atlas and the HEDH (Heat Exchanger Design Handbook) and further research reports.
