CALGAVIN.SP® V7

With more than 45 years of enhanced heat exchanger design experience and more than 20,000 hiTRAN® enhanced heat exchanger bundle installation worldwide, we are proud to release our latest version of CALGAVIN.SP® V7, the enhanced plug-in for HTRI Xchanger Suite® and Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating.

What is CALGAVIN.SP?

The CALGAVIN.SP software integrates with HTRI Xchanger Suite® and Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating, two of the most powerful heat exchanger design software packages on the market to rate and simulate tubular heat exchangers. The underlying correlations for our hiTRAN® CALGAVIN.SP plug-in are derived from our state of the art in-house test facilities. It can be downloaded by users that have signed up for our portal access, which can be found here.

For users without access to HTRI or Aspentech software, CALGAVIN.SP can run via hiTRAN.SP® as a standalone selection program to calculate the tube side performance of heat exchangers equipped with hiTRAN®.

Key Highlights
