Heat exchanger configurator and selection software
Configurix connects hot and cold fluids, temperatures, flow, heat load, pressure, allowable pressure drop, physical properties, fouling, exchanger families, construction, materials, connections, accessories, account pricing, quotations, thermal datasheets, drawings and reviewed project data in one guided workflow for heat exchanger manufacturers, distributors and thermal engineers.
Connected thermal project
One project connects duty, fluids, exchanger, construction, price, datasheet, drawing and review.
Heat exchanger configuration software defined
A connected heat exchanger configurator begins with the actual manufacturer catalogue and the thermal inputs required for a responsible selection. Hot and cold fluid identities, composition, phase, flow, inlet and target outlet temperatures, operating pressure, physical properties, pressure-drop limits, fouling basis, design conditions, units and source status remain attached to one governed project.
Exchanger series, plates, gaskets, brazing or bonding materials, shells, tubes, tubesheets, baffles, passes, nozzles, flanges, frames, supports, insulation, instruments, fans, motors, tests and services use revisioned product data. Changing a fluid, temperature, flow or material updates the same thermal result, candidate set, warnings and price.
The same governed model can power a public selector, distributor portal, EPC workflow, consultant workspace and thermal-engineering process. Each channel receives the correct product ranges, territories, account prices, documents and actions while one duty identity and revision history continue across teams.
A product recommendation is not certified thermal design, pressure-vessel mechanical design, corrosion assessment, piping design, nozzle-load analysis, fabrication approval, inspection plan, test acceptance, process-safety decision or performance guarantee. Configurix preserves source data, assumptions and reviews while qualified parties remain responsible for the actual exchanger.
Thermal workflow planner
The result shows which thermal, mechanical, product, commercial and review data should remain connected. It is a planning aid, not a certified exchanger design.
Recommended governed workflow
Connect permitted series, sizes, plate packs, gaskets, brazing or bonding materials, shells, tube bundles, passes, nozzles, connections, frames, insulation, mounting, instruments, spares, tests and services in one commercial revision. A changed fluid, temperature or pressure updates the same selection, account price and quotation.
Connected record
Account · duty · fluids · exchanger · size · construction · materials · connections · accessories · tests · price · quote
Every quoted line reconciles to the selected exchanger, thermal result and catalogue revision.
Commercial compatibility remains distinct from thermal, mechanical, process and code approval.
Accepted quotations retain the exchanger, options, tests, price, documents and exclusions approved.
Final thermal, mechanical, pressure-vessel, material, piping, fabrication, inspection, testing and site decisions remain subject to the manufacturer's accepted process.
The implementation follows actual exchanger ranges, thermal methods, material rules, commercial models and receiving systems—not a generic heat-load calculator placed above a product list.
Capture enough process context to create a defensible exchanger shortlist.
Guide users with traceable calculations and explicit limitations.
Build the complete saleable equipment package around the duty.
Keep pressure equipment connected while approval remains explicit.
Continue the selected exchanger into the correct commercial model.
Preserve accepted identity while engineering review remains explicit.
One connected process
The customer, distributor, consultant, EPC, thermal engineer, manufacturer and site team can continue the same project while each role owns the decisions it is qualified to make.
Define the duty
Capture property sources, thermal target, pressure-drop limits, fouling, design conditions and open questions.
Select and configure
Choose manufacturer products while thermal, material, pressure, connection, test and accessory data stay connected.
Create the quotation
Apply the correct account, inspection, documentation, freight, commissioning, terms and revisioned offer.
Review and release
Record process, pressure, material, code, piping, fabrication, inspection and site decisions before data moves downstream.
Use this comparison to separate an early thermal calculation from software that governs fluids, cases, exchanger construction, account prices, datasheets, quotations and reviewed handoff.
| Decision | Generic calculator or catalogue | Connected Configurix workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Duty state | Four temperatures and one flow | Stable operating cases, fluids, properties, flow, pressure, source and revision |
| Thermal result | One calculated heat load | Heat balance, profiles, approach, correction basis, pressure drop and limitations |
| Product identity | Suggested model | Manufacturer exchanger, size, construction, materials and performance-data revision |
| Phase and fouling | A checkbox | Phase behaviour, non-condensables, solids, fouling, cleaning and review status remain visible |
| Mechanical scope | Pressure entered | Design conditions, materials, corrosion, code, inspection, test and jurisdiction stay connected |
| Engineering scope | A disclaimer below the result | Thermal, mechanical, piping, fabrication and site questions retain owners and status |
| Pricing | Request price | Traceable construction, materials, tests, documents, service and account rules |
| Quotation | Specifications copied manually | Every line reconciles to duty, exchanger, material, option, price and exclusion |
| Order output | Model entered into ERP | Verified identities, datasheets, drawings, CAD, BOM data, documents and mapping |
