Once the optimum Tube insert for the specific duty / exchanger is calculated using the hiTRAN calculator form, the results can be displayed and saved in hiTRAN.SP. In pic. 1 a screenshot of this result page is displayed, please note the hiTRAN Part No. at the bottom of the screenshot. This part number uniquely identifies the hiTRAN turbulator geometry suitable to achieve the required heat transfer and pressure drop performance for the specified process conditions for the given bundle geometry.

In the case of the program calculating an aircooler design in interactive mode, additional Output options are available:
 

A) Interactive mode with ACOL (HTFS Aspentech)
It is possible to display the so-called "Brief Output" in hiTRAN.SP, and also the Lineprinter output. In Version 1.1.2 and higher of hiTRAN.SP, those outputs contain all the values which are effected by introducing hiTRAN tube inserts.
[pressure drop, heat transfer coefficient]

A) Interactive mode with Xace (HTRI)
Once the hiTRAN design is calculated running Xist in the background, the results can be seen via the GUI (Graphical User Interface) of HTRI Xchanger suite. Pic 3 Illustrates how this works.

All output options can be accessed via the HTRI-GUI in hiTRAN.SP. For example this enables the user to check the impact of enhanced heat transfer on wall temperatures (Tubeside Monitor).
