This dialog appears when you select Tasks } Other Resources } Heat Transfer Agents from the main menu of the application or Resources } Heat Transfer Agents from the flowsheet’s command menu.
This list presents all heat transfer agents that are currently in use by operations in the process. Select a heat transfer agent (will show as a highlighted row) and then click the View/Edit Properties button (
) at the top-right of the table or double click on the row. You will be presented with a dialog that allows you to edit the properties of the selected heat transfer agent associated with the current process file. Clicking on the View Locations Used button (
) will present you with a dialog which shows where exactly the heat transfer agent is used in the process. For more details, see Heat Transfer Agent Properties Dialog and Locations where Heat Transfer Agents are Used Dialog.

You will not be able to edit the data of heat transfer agents that are allocated (matched) to resources existing in a site selected from the site databank. See Sites & Resources Databank Dialog. |

It is possible that a listed heat transfer here, does NOT exist in your databank. Possibly it used to exist in your ‘SuperPro (User)’ database and it is now deleted, or you may be viewing a process model created by someone else and the original definition of that heat transfer agent exists in his/her ‘SuperPro (User)’ database. If that is the case, and you wish to keep a definition in your ‘SuperPro (User)’ database for future use in other projects, you can deposit the HX agent definition (see Notes (e) below). |
NOTES:
a) Note that any changes will only affect the local definition of that heat transfer agent and therefore only the current process file calculations; they will not be reflected in the values stored in the HX agent databank or in any other process file that utilizes the same type of heat transfer agent.
b) You cannot explicitly add or delete heat transfer agents to this list. The list is automatically updated by the application as you add/delete operations that engage the services of a s heat transfer agent.
c) If you have modified the properties of a heat transfer agent and you wish to update its database record based on its current values, then click on the Update Record in DB button (
). This will make the record kept in the database identical to the property values as they now exist in your process file. Please note that if there is no heat transfer agent with the same name in your databank, this button will be active. To create a new record in your databank, you must export the definition to your databank (see (e) below).
d) If you have modified the properties of a heat transfer agent and you wish to reset its values back to how they exist in the database, then click on the Update Properties from DB Record button (
). This will refresh the values of the object in the process file to match the values of the heat transfer agent as they exist in the database.
e) If a selected heat transfer agent does NOT exist in your databank (either it used to exist and later deleted, or it was never defined there as the process model was created by someone else), you can export and keep a definition of this heat transfer agent in your databank by clicking on the Export to DB button (
). Please note that this button will be active, even if a heat transfer agent with that name already exists in your databank. In that case, you will get a chance to create a new heat transfer agent (new record) in the databank with the values as they currently exist in your local definition, but under a different name. This option is useful if you have modified the properties of an agent as they existed in the databank, and you wish to keep the modified version of the agent as well as the original.
