hiTRAN® Thermal Systems
hiTRAN Thermal Systems enhance the tube side heat transfer for tubular heat exchangers; whether considered at the preliminary design phase, or through a retrofit to an existing heat exchanger.
CALGAVIN®.SP Software
For the calculation of tube side heat transfer and pressure drop in hiTRAN enhanced heat exchangers, the software program CALGAVIN.SP is available for free download.
Twisted Tape
Twisted tapes are an additional type of turbulator that CALGAVIN® manufactures. It achieves enhancement by inducing swirl flow of the tube side fluid.
Economic heat transfer enhancement
CALGAVIN’s products provide solutions to a variety of customers including end users/operators of process plants, original equipment manufacturers of heat exchangers and contracting companies.
