Petro-SIM 7.0 Changes to Heat Transfer and Energy Modelling Capabilities

Heat Transfer Equipment

• Heat Exchanger object now supports use of HTRI Xist within HX Monitor for fouling and data reconciliation calculations

Newly integrated XSIMOp for detailed heat exchanger design and rating within simulation cases!

• New XSIMOp heat exchanger solving option from HTRI embedded in the shell & tube exchanger

Note: This feature requires an additional license.

Revamped Aircooler Enables More Rigorous Heat Integration Modelling!

• Air Cooler significantly updated
  • Native rating method revamped to be much more detailed, allowing calculation of heat transfer coefficients and overall UA from geometry and conditions
  • Native link to HTRI Xace module added

Energy Equipment

• Enhancements to several operations to support calibration against an individual data set (“operational calibration”) and calibration against multiple data sets (“design calibration”)
  • Boiler
  • Gas Turbine
  • Steam Turbine – creation of Willans Lines
• Steam thermodynamics updated to IAPWS-95
• Header balancing mechanisms updated
• Flowsheet Report utility upgraded to support energy and electrical power balance
• Energy stream updated to link to stream pricing and allow tiered pricing
