Thermal Design
We offer specialized thermal design services for various heat exchangers, including shell and tube, air-cooled, and coil-type configurations, using HTRI (Heat Transfer Research, Inc.) software to ensure optimal thermal performance, energy efficiency, and full compliance with international standards.
We perform precise sizing and rating calculations considering process conditions, thermal duty, and allowable pressure drops, evaluating heat transfer coefficients, flow regimes, fouling factors, and pressure loss to design efficient and reliable exchangers, following globally recognized standards such as TEMA, ASME Section VIII, API 660, and PD 5500 to ensure safety, durability, and performance in critical applications.
