Key features of Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger Design (PHex):

•  User friendly and easy to use with ability to save/load data
• Estimate the Physical properties of more than 1450 components; the database has the ability to estimate Thermal Conductivity, Density, Heat Capacity and Viscosity. The database also included critical properties, boiling and melting points
• Estimate mixture properties
• Create you own database of Plates and Components. You can add your fluid physical properties and load the data to your project with a click of a button and more...
• Chose between S.I. or English U.S. units of measurements
• Temperature and Flow rate estimation in the event of insufficient data
• Heat load required (clean or fouled) calculations
• Duty clean / dirty calculations
• Total effective area calculation
• Surface area calculation
• Number of plates calculations
• Overall Coefficient (clean / dirty) calculations
• Pressure drop Channel/Port/Total for Hot side and Cold side Calculations
• Plate heat exchanger dimension calculations
