CASE 5: DESIGN AND SCENARIOS ANALYSIS ON A PROPANE AIR-COOLED
OBJECTIVE
THE PURPOSE IS TO RATE AN AIR COOLER FROM A REFRIGERATION CYCLE USING ASPEN AIR COOLED
EXCHANGER
A FULL API SHEET IS PROVIDED
WE ARE GOING TO USE THE IMPORT FEATURE TO EXTRACT HEAT CURVES (PROCESS DATA AND PROPERTIES)
FOR EXCHANGER AC-100 FROM ASPEN HYSYS

TASKS
START ASPEN EDR & IMPORT PROCESS DATA AND PROPERTIES FROM A HYSYS CASE
ENTER GEOMETRY INFORMATION FROM THE API SHEET INTO ASPEN AIRE COOLED EXCHANGER
REVIEW ASPEN AIR COOLED EXCHANGER RESULTS
