Xfh® Ultra, HTRI’s modeling software for fired heaters, has a user-friendly interface that allows you to quickly set up and run your fired heater cases. Xfh Ultra uses tubeside calculations, backed by HTRI’s extensive research on single-phase and two-phase boiling, to maximize the performance of fired heaters.
In this webinar, we review new capabilities in Version 4.0. The most important improvement in this release is the addition of a standalone air preheater option, which allows Xfh Ultra to evaluate the efficiency gains associated with integrated preheat of combustion air. Other key features include
- detailed flue duct calculations
- improved heat loss calculations
- coil bypasses
- improved HTRI SmartPMTM connection
Join this webinar to learn more about these key features and more.
