Cooler

Overview

	Size / Design Variable	Heat Transfer Area
	Costing Variable (Built-in Model)	Heat Transfer Area
	Costing Variable (User-Defined Model)	Heat Transfer Area in m2
	Emissions Port	No
	Hosts	Cooling Procedure

A Cooler is used to represent an equipment resource typically used to host a cooling procedure with a main objective to decrease the temperature of the material flowing through it. The procedure can be executed in a batch or continuous mode.

Cooler: Equipment Tab

See Heater: Equipment Tab.

Sizing: Design Mode

In Calculate (Design Mode), the user specifies the Maximum Heat Transfer Area and the system computes the Number of Units and the Heat Transfer Area. See also Cooling: Modeling Calculations.

Sizing: Rating Mode

In User-Defined (Rating Mode), the user specifies the Number of Units and the Heat Transfer Area.

Costing

Built-in equipment purchase cost functions are available for three different types of heat exchangers: plate-and-frame, spiral, and shell-and-tube. The cost is based on the total heat transfer area and the material of construction which is assumed to be CS.
