1. Business Background
Conventional workflow employed in the design of heat exchangers introduces both inefficiency and design handicaps. The design cycle involves several iterations of manual data transfer from process engineer, back and forth to the thermal expert, to a mechanical expert and possibly a cost estimator. This manual transfer of data is prone to transcription errors, requiring a labor-intensive data-checking step, often resulting in project delays. Also, this sequential approach removes the process engineer from the exchanger design process, which limits visibility and therefore the investigation into multiple process scenarios. The result of this process is that the design is frequently not optimal. To overcome these handicaps, AspenTech has introduced an easy-to-use integration between process simulators and heat exchanger design modeling tools. These enable the use of the Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating (Aspen EDR) product family the industrys most comprehensive suite of programs for heat exchanger design with the Aspen HYSYS and Aspen Plus simulators. Run time integration with Aspen HYSYS combined with Aspen EDRs unique capability of automating the exchanger design to least cost allows process engineers to be actively involved in the equipment design process. Supervision of engineering decisions by appropriate expert engineers is easily achieved with electronic data transfer. The entire engineering cycle is simplified through the use of a single integrated framework of programs for all of the engineering processes. As a result, companies deploying these solutions are able to reduce capital equipment cost, reduce engineering man-hours, and improve their overall processes.
2. Scope of this Document

This document serves as a simple getting started guide, taking you through the most common progression of how we envision the process designer to use this integrated functionality. This guide is not meant to be used as the only reference source for documentation. We recommend that a range of other resources be called upon to give the new user a comprehensive view of how to use this capability. This may include: Online documentation which can be accessed through the Aspen HYSYS and Aspen EDR software user screens. AspenTech support website (support.aspentech.com), which contains a wide range of knowledge base items with answers to frequently asked questions. AspenTech courseware available in classroom and on-line versions, which provide formal training on process modeling and heat transfer technology. AspenTech business consultants. Pre-recorded tutorials and webinars that provide another view of the information contained in this document. You will be required to enter your AspenTech support id and password (go to the animated tutorial section on the following for many of these resources: http://support.aspentech.com/webteamasp/My/product.asp?id1=3030&id2= Aspen%20Shell%20%26%20Tube%20Exchanger&id3=all). This document covers integration with Aspen HYSYS. This guide assumes that the user has Aspen HYSYS V7.2 and Aspen EDR V7.3 installed.
3. Problem Overview
Process engineers need to determine quickly if a process is viable and potentially estimate the cost. Being able to produce a preliminary design of an exchanger to evaluate its size and weight within the simulator is a very valuable tool. Our aspenONE integration makes it easy to do this pre-design using the full rigor of the Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR) tools. It is also a good starting point if the data can be passed to the thermal specialist who might undertake a full design. Once the exchanger has been pre-designed (or fully designed), the process engineer can check the full flowsheet using the geometry and the rigorous calculation of Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger. Based on the conditions and the geometry defined, the duty and pressure drops of the heat exchanger are calculated in Aspen HYSYS using the rigorous model.
4. The Step by Step Guide

Open the HYSYS simulation file. Double-click on the icon associated with heat exchanger E-103 to view the details for the heat exchanger (Figure 1). The original Aspen HYSYS run used the Exchanger Design Endpoint shortcut method for the HYSYS calculation and the heat and material balance.
Figure 1. HYSYS PFD Exchanger E-103 Figure 2. Utilities option from the Tools command
We will now use the Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger rigorous program while still in the HYSYS run time environment to obtain a preliminary optimized heat exchanger to least cost. Use the Utilities option from the pull down Tools command (Figure 2) where we will add the Utility for Shell & Tube Exchanger (Figure 3). Click on the View Utility button and the Shell & Tube Design Utility will appear (Figure 4).

Click on the Select Heat Exchanger button to select heat exchanger E-103 from the list of exchangers (Figure 5).
Figure 6. Exchanger Type set to AET
Figure 7. Process specifications
We will use the Shell & Tube Design Utility to specify desired geometry specific for a crude pre-heat exchanger along with some process information such as fouling factors and allowable pressure drops. The exchanger type is set to a TEMA style AET exchanger (Figure 6). The allowable pressure drop will be set to 0.5 bar on both hot and cold sides. The hot side fouling will be set to 0.000055 C h-m2/kJ on the hot side and 0.0000833 C-h-m2/kJ on the cold side (Figure 7).
The Bundle section will be used to further define the desired parameters desired for a crude pre-heat exchanger. We will select a 90 degree square pattern to allow for proper cleaning of the bundle (Figure 8).
Figure 8. 90 degree square tube pattern
In the Design Options window, force the design to 2 passes by setting minimum and maximum tube passes to 2, and limit the maximum number of exchangers in series and parallel to 2 (Figure 9). We will use the program defaults for any remaining parameters.
Figure 9. Minimum & maximum parameters
Go back to the Exchanger section and click on the RUN button to have the Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger program design the preliminary heat exchanger (Figure 10).
Figure 10. Shell & Tube designs the exchanger
Once the Run button becomes active again, you have options for a number of things you can now do with the newly designed exchanger. You can view the details of this new heat exchanger by clicking on the EDR Results button, and understand how it will operate within the overall process by clicking Update Design. Click Export to create the Aspen Exchanger Design and Rating standalone file. The standalone EDR file can then be run with the Aspen Shell & Tube Exchanger standalone program to fine tune the design or turned over to a thermal expert to develop a final design. Once the final design is selected, it can be imported back into Aspen HYSYS to simulate how a real exchanger will perform in your process. This allows the user to get a better understanding of the operation of the heat exchanger and its impact on the overall process for changes in throughput or crude composition.
