The heat transfer equipment in Hysys are:
• In the object palette icons are:
6.1 Exchanges of Armour & Tubes Exercise 30: You want to cool 50 000 kg / h of m

llows a pressure drop of up to 0.5 atm. The water inlet pressure is 6 atm and
Solution: 1. Create four streams of material
2. Enter a shell and tube exchanger
• By adding the heat exchanger this is like chillers and heaters on the PFD.
• The display of the exchanger associate input and output currents:
• Note that this team can select a package of fluids for the fluid exchange and

oling side of the tubes.
• Specifications Power Input to the Shield:
• Specify the output of methanol
• Specify the entry of water:
• Specify the output of water:
• By specifying the latest current exchanger is specified:
• In the worksheet you can see the result of calculations
• You can also see the specifications of the exchange:
There are four models of heat exchangers:
The rate of heat loss is only available to the calculation models Weighted Excha

nger Exchanger Design or End Point Design.
• In dynamic mode there is this option:
On the side of the shell the field AU is to specify the coefficient of overall h

the exchanger converges.
• Data exchanger sizing:
• In the performance tab you can see graphical and tabular form exchanger perfor

6.2 COOLERS
• Coolers are a heat exchanger in which the input current is cooled to the requi
red output conditions. The flow of energy absorbed in this case the difference i
n enthalpy between the two currents • This operation is useful when one is inter
ested in knowing how much energy is required to cool a process stream but not in
the current conditions of cooling.

Exercise: Calculate how much heat is required to cool to 50 ° C a stream with th
e following specifications:
Temperature Pressure Flow Specification Components: Cumene H2S Ammonia Water Val
ue 2 atm 100 ° C 100 kg / h molar composition: 0.5 0.1 0.2 0.2

wer supply and an output of the cooler.
• Assume a pressure drop of 0.2 atm
• Once you specify the exit temperature or cooler cooling Q is completely specif

6.3 HEATERS
• Heaters are a heat exchanger in which the input current is heated to the requi
red output conditions. The flow of energy supplies in this case the enthalpy dif
ference between the two currents • This operation is useful only Cundo are inter
ested in knowing how much energy is required to heat a process stream but not in
terms of heating fluid.

• Exercise: Calculate how much heat is required to heat 150 ° C a stream with th
e following specifications:
Temperature Pressure Flow Specification Components: Cumene H2S Ammonia Water Val
ue 2 atm 100 ° C 100 kg / h molar composition: 0.5 0.1 0.2 0.2

6.4 AIR COOLER
The unit employs air AIR COOLER ideal as a heat transfer medium for cooling or h
eating a process stream to output conditions. One or more fans are used to circu
late air through the tubes in the process fluid enfriamieno. The air flow can be
specified or calculated from the specifications of the fan. This unit can be us
ed to calculate: • The overall coefficient of heat transfer (AU) • Mass Air Flow
• The temperature of the output current.

8. PUMPING SYSTEMS
8.1 Pumps.
The pumping operation is used to increase the pressure of the liquid stream inpu
t. Depending on the information provided to the pump calculates the unknown pres
sure, temperature or efficiency

Exercise: In a closed tank equipped with a
vent to the atmosphere you want to pump water at 20 ° C, to an absorption tower.
The liquid level in the tank is 7 m on the axis of the pump, the flow is 20 m3
/ h. The water inlet at the top of the tower is 20 m above the pump shaft. The s
uction line consists of standard steel pipe 2 "(5.08 cm) nominal diameter, ident

ity card No. 40S and 40.0 m in length, has four standard elbows and a valve gate (" gate ") open. The discharge line is also standard steel 2 "(5.08 cm) nominal diameter, No. of Schedule 40 and 60.0 m long, has two standard elbows, 2 T used

as a valve elbow of control,
• Solution: 1. Properties and composition of the entry:
2. We inserted a segment of the suction pipe which they termed Hs
• This segment will connect the following streams:
• Launched the design of the piping system by selecting the correlations for cal

• Define dimensions of the pipe, static column and accessories: First comes the
features that we define in this segment
Click the button Append Segment

• You see the basic information for specifying the first segment of pipeline. Th
e first segment will add the responsibility of straight pipe: Pipe

pipe.
• Now define the accessories: 4 standard elbows
• We define the heat transfer with the surroundings:
• We define the Worksheet for Vapor Fraction 0 and 20 ° C
• And the PFD now appears as:
• The next step in the simulation is to add the pump and pipe and fittings that

correspond to the discharge side. Connect the following to a pump current
• Pipe and Fittings: pipe connecting the next segment.
the
• Specify the pipe and fittings on the side of the discharge
• Heat Transfer
Now we must specify the conditions of the output (We are interested in the disch

arge pressure: 20 psig = 34.7 psia 07.14 and other parameter is the temperature)
• This completes the simulation, and the PFD is now displayed:
• If we see the power supplied to the pump are:
Compressors
