Choosing the right software for your heat exchanger

Unilab provides various heat transfer software for all requirements, whether for individual heat exchangers or for complete units. In this article, we will provide a brief overview of the different Unilab software, starting from the single heat exchanger to complete units.

For the design and calculation of fin packed and smooth tube coils heat exchangers, also considering  mixtures outside of the tubes, UNILAB COILS is the ideal program. Coils can be enriched by EASY, the technical 3D module of UNILAB COILS, which allows the automatic or manual circuitation of the Coils heat exchanger.

SHARK considers the Coils H.E. as part of a refrigeration cycle, shifting from the single heat exchanger to the design of a complete unit, and allowing the design and simulation of air/water,  water/water chillers, heat pumps, air conditioners, close control units, multi-functional units, rooftops, condensing units, evaporating units, remote condensers, compact units and any special project that includes a refrigeration cycle. XSHARK, SHARK’s commercial partner, allows you to select and estimate these units quickly and easily!

Unilab SMART AIR IS Unilab’s innovative software for the design and generation of offers for AHUs. Smart Air includes a selection module, and an out of range module, which allows you to create offers of AHUs that are not in the standard range, inserting the size of the coils and Ahu, which are immediately defined.

UNIT SELECTOR HYBRID allows the selection of more elaborate units, such as dry coolers, air coolers, remote condensers, or ventilated units. Last but not least, FANCOILS SELECTOR allows the selection and estimation of the fancoil unit, composed by a fan, and a Coils H.E.

The design and rating of electric heat exchangers, such as electric coils with or without fins, electric shell with Single Phase fluids, electric vaporizers with Bi-Phase fluids (with or without overheating) and indirect electrical heaters is handled by ELECTRIC SUITE. These heat exchangers are often used in Refining, Power, Pulp and Paper, Gas Engine and Gas Compression industries.

For Shell & tube, coaxial, plate H.E. and tube in tube heat exchangers, Unilab offers SHELL, COAX, PHE and TUBE IN TUBE respectively, collected together in our UNISUITE, and available individually as modules.

MICROCHANNEL and MINICHANNEL, on the other hand, allow for the design and rating of microchannel and compact heat exchangers.

DEHUMIDIFIER HEAT PIPE, or DHP, is a Unilab software specifically designed for the selection and design of monoflat and wrap-around heat pipes. These heat exchangers are mainly used in tropical regions, characterized by high temperatures with a very high relative humidity, where traditional air conditioning units are, from an energy point of view, inefficient.

Unilab also looks at the Food & Beverage sector, with the development of PILLOW SUITE, which combines three modules: PILLOW, for the design of pillow plate heat exchangers, PCOIL, for the calculation of special heat exchangers made with pillow plates inserted side by side in a frame, and BMC Tank, for the calculation of bulk milk tank coolers using pillow plates.

For the Automotive sector, RADIATOR SUITE is the best solution for the calculation in design and rating of Radiators and gas generators, used in the various cycles for the production of electricity.

COLD STORAGE is an intuitive tool developed for the calculation of the heat output of cold storage rooms.

The latest innovations developed by Unilab include GAS COOLER, for the transcritical calculation of Co2 Gas Coolers, and EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER, for the design of evaporative condensers.
