Exchanger Design: Dynamic Retrofit Test™
Dynamic Retrofit Test™
Hexxcell Dynamic Retrofit Test™ is a predictive approach to test performance of a proposed retrofit design in Hexxcell Studio™ using historical plant data and assess how the exchanger would have performed if in operation over a given period.
It allows identifying benefits in furnace savings as a result of reduced fouling in the retrofitted exchanger taking into account complex network interactions.
