Explore HTRI (Thermal Design) certification and training courses — delivered live by certified instructors.
HTRI (Thermal Design) is a suite of engineering software tools developed by Heat Transfer Research, Inc. (HTRI) for the thermal and hydraulic design, simulation, and rating of heat transfer equipment. It addresses the complex challenges of optimizing heat exchanger performance in industrial processes and is supported by over 50 years of proprietary research data. The technology includes several core modules: Xist® for shell-and-tube heat exchangers, Xace® for air coolers and economizers, Xphe® for plate-and-frame exchangers, Xpfe® for plate-fin exchangers, Xspe® for spiral plate exchangers, Xfh® for fired heaters, and Xvib® for flow-induced vibration analysis. Additional tools include Xfh Ultra® for advanced fired heater modeling, SmartPM™ for performance monitoring, HTRI connect™ for integration with plant data systems, XSimOp® for process simulator integration, and Edgeview® for rapid performance evaluation. HTRI (Thermal Design) is for process, thermal, and mechanical engineers in oil and gas, chemical, and power industries who require accurate, research-backed modeling to design, troubleshoot, and optimize heat transfer systems under real-world operating conditions.
