Pillow is the ideal tool that Unilab recommends for daily calculation of "pillow" plate heat exchangers, particularly used in the food and beverage industry. Available in 5 modalities (heating, cooling, direct expansion, condensing and steam) Pillow is suitable to design exchangers which use the batch procedure: it means that the user may always calculate the exact time needed for fluid to reach the right temperature. The new thermophysics library, available in all Unilab software, give you the possibility to add new fluids and mixtures. Our programs allow to elaborate charts of heating or cooling curves and also modify the units of measurement in your project.

Why would you prefer Unilab – Pillow?

Because Pillow allows you to manage many factors, as the calculation of required time to cool off the fluid, the cooling capacity required and also the number and the speed of agitators. The paddle diameter may be varied automatically or by manual set. Thanks to the easy-friendly and intuitive interface, user may automatically calculate the nozzles and also trim the calculation with experimental data trough factors. Plates, with no limitation about the number of passages and the type of refrigerants, may be emerged in circular or rectangular tanks.
