Thanks sew I learned. Now just for sake of curiosity why do you want to design when all types of heatexchangers & coolers are available to select from?

HTRI is one of the most valuable tools for thermal design and analysis of heat exchangers and air coolers. However, software results are only as reliable as the engineering assumptions and input data provided by the designer.
In practical projects, parameters such as fluid properties, fouling factors, pressure drop limitations, material selection, and operating conditions must be carefully evaluated alongside simulation results.
At Exerland, we use engineering principles combined with thermal design approaches to develop reliable heat exchanger solutions for industrial and HVAC applications. The goal is not only achieving the required heat duty, but also ensuring efficiency, maintainability, and long-term operational reliability.
HTRI can support the design process, but engineering judgment remains the key factor in selecting the right exchanger configuration for each application.
