WTS module package

Design of shell-and-tube heat exchangers

Program features

WTS is a 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 available  to calculate condensation processes for wet gases (partial condensation).

• Thermal and hydraulic calculation of shell-and-tube heat exchangers for single-phase media and for condensing pure components (e.g. saturated steam condensation). The heat absorbing medium at condensation has to be single-phase.
• NEW: Countercurrent flow or cocurrent flow
• Segmental baffles, Disk and doughnut
• Shell without baffles
• Double-pipe heat exchangers
• Tube inside: Bare tubes, Internal fins, Twisted tape inserts
• Tube exterior: Bare tubes, Low-finned tubes, Longitudinal fins, Plate fin-and-tube
• Corrugated tubes
• Multi-pass shell design
• Calculation of entry and exit regions in shell
• Detailed tube sheet generation (SPIE module). 32000 tubes individually editable.
• Simple tube vibration analysis
• Characterization of performance by multidimensional parameter studies
• Data link to MS-Excel in user-definable specification sheets
• No-tubes-in-windows heat exchangers
• True-to-scale sketch of heat exchangers including essential dimensioning in DXF format. Interface to strength calculation included in WTSC
• Abridged customer documentation for bid preparation (KUDO)

SPIE Module in the WTS program

• Generate tube sheets including tube sheets with longitudinal baffles and no tubes in window
• Simple graphically editing the tubesheet
• Considering dummy tubes and tie rods
• Create your own tube sheet library
• CAD interface
