PHex version history - WeBBusterZ Engineering

Below is the version history for Gasketed Plate Heat Exchanger Design (PHex) Software

PHex – v10.0.0.0

Internal code refining for Heat Exchanger Suite (HExS) publish automation
Enhanced material thermal conductivities database and added more material thermal conductvities.
Added Water and Steam Properties
Added new setting to check for software updates on start
Added physical properties PProps internal database containing 500 fluids

Upgrade framework to Microsoft .net framework 4.8
Fixed a bug affecting both fluids and plates user databases. The bug was affecting the listing of user added fluids and plates
Added Check for software updates

Minor bug fix affecting file loading that resulted in error produced when the file is loaded correctly.
Added mass flow per channel and velocity through channel summary output
Added velocity through port and channel engineering datasheet summary
Some interface enhancements

Fixed bug affecting retrieving Nusselt user correlations when user is using comma for decimal point separator

Maintenance release addressed software digital signature and end user license agreement

Added a feature to allow the user to select from a list of 12 Nusselt number correlations.
Add your own Nusselt number correlation in two different formats through a correlations database and use them during software calculations
Added the ability to define Nusselt number
Added manufacturers plate database containing over 230 plates
Added Units converter containing 23 measurements with 200-unit conversion
Modified Chevron angle input to allow the ability to enter any value
Minor interface enhancement

Added the ability to define exchanger Heat load
Added the ability to calculate any two unknown temperatures providing that the heat load and flow rates are defined
Added the ability to set either US/English Units or SI Units as default units. The software will now remember your default used units
Added the ability to load fluid data and plate data to user database for quick access in new projects.

Added Engineering datasheet generator – allows the software to generate an engineering datasheet without relying on other third party software. The datasheet can be exported to pdf or excel format

Corrected a software bug that causes the some measurement units in SI units to be displayed incorrectly
Added more fields to plates user database
Added the ability to change between channel spacing and compressed plate pack length as inputs
Some Minor changes to the interface
Added more calculations
Added error check features
