After completing data input click on 'OK' to draw elevation and side view of
exchanger. Give center point of extreme left face of exchanger as standard reference
point for exchanger. If 'Apply BOM' is selected in 'Standard Setting' then BOM will be
generated. (BOM will be discussed in successive chapter).

BOM Table

Bill of Material (BOM) will be generated by program itself and will be updated in BOM
table at specified Sr.No. In BOM Serial No, Part Description, Quantity, Material and
Weight are generated for selected part or assembly. In BOM table Specify distance
for each column (as specified), if any column is not required remove it from selection.
Also define text height, distance between each row and direction of table growth from
the list i.e. Upward or Downward. Now give X and Y coordinates for staring point of
BOM table or Pick the point by clicking the Pick point button. The button 'Draw' will
draw the header line of BOM table and save the data whereas button 'OK' will only
save the data.

Standard Setting

The drawing generated by program will have some standard data that will be same
for all options(commands) in program. Click option 'Update BOM' if you want to
generate bill of material while you draw any part or assembly. If update BOM is
selected part nos. are assigned to each part as specified on BOM table for assembly.
For BOM it will ask for the sr.no for BOM table , If you click OK it will apply the
generated BOM at specified No. (In case of exchanger assembly change in sr.no is
not allowed , it always starts with 1). Apply Dimension will apply major (Overall)
dimensions in exchanger assembly. Precision of dimension i.e. decimal point after
each figure are controlled by 'Decimal Precision for Dimension'. Apply Nozzle
Dimension will apply dimension to each nozzle. For straight nozzle, dimension will
apply from reference line to top face of flange (rest face side) and for inclined nozzle
dimension will apply from reference line to nozzle insertion point. The text in
dimension is controlled by text height and scale of drawing. The program will change
dimension variables to match the specified text height. Here material for various parts
are defined as per specification, so that the BOM will be generated with specified
material as requested.
Tube Layout

The option will generate Tube layout as per specified type and parameters.Select No
of passes from available list. There are different layouts for each selection of no of
passes (As specified in TEMA).Select required type for selected no on passes from
available list. (Front and back view of each arrangement will be dispalyed on screen).
Click 'Ok' button to specify different parameters for selected type.
Here we have two methods 1.Calculate no. of tubes for specified OTL (Outer Tube
Limit) 2. Calculate OTL for minimum no. of tubes to accomodate.

Specify Tube outer diameter and Pitch distance for tube layout. Aslo select the angle
of tube layout arrangement (i.e. 30,60 or 90). Specify vertical distance X and/or X1
(i.e. distance/s for groove of partition plate from center of tube sheet).

The button 'Variable distances' will allow you to change some fix distances like...

Layout Starting Distance - X direction (AX) : It is the distance in X-direction between

center of tube sheet and starting point of tube layout.

Layout Starting Distance - Y direction (AY) : It is the distance in Y-drirection between

center of tube sheet and starting point of tube layout.

Horizontal Gap between Passes H : It is the distance in X-direction between center of

tube sheet and starting point of tube layout for passes which are seperated by groove
for partition plae.

Horizontal Gap between Passes V : It is the distance in X-direction between center of

tube sheet and starting point of tube layout for passes which are seperated by groove
for partition plae.

Distance from OTL to Top Row : It is the minimum distance in Y-direction between
outer surface of tube in top most row to Top point of OTL circle (Higher distance is
required to weld impingment plate).

Distance from OTL to Bottom Row : It is the minimum distance in Y-direction between
outer surface of tube in bottom most row to Bottom point of OTL circle.

Radial Clearance for tubes: It is the minimum radial distance for tube to the surafce
which decides the pass boundry (i.e. OTL, Groove for partition Plate etc.).
No of Tie Rods : There should be provision for tie-rods in tube sheet, Normally
position of these tie-tods will fall in tube layout, therefore no. of position of holes will
be addition to No. of Tubes required.

The Button 'Tube Count' will count no. of tubes in each pass and total no of tubes that
can be accomodated for specified OTL and other parameters.

The Button 'OTL Count' will calcuate no. of tube for specified parameters and check
with required minimum no of tubes. If it is less than required, OTL will increase by
value as specified in OTL increment, and tubes will be counted again till it reaches
the required no. of tubes. ( So for first approximation of OTL specify lower OTL and
higher OTL increment @25 mm. where as for precise OTL specify OTL as one step
down from OTL after first approximation and lower OTL increment @ 1 mm). Once
OTL is fixed program will try to apply equal no of tubes in each pass by varying the
distance between each pass. This process is confined by some parameters as
specified in 'Settings' against OTL count. i.e. Percentage variation is the variation
allowed as percentage of total no of tubes, If defined variation in minimum nos. of
tube is lower than percentage of total tubes it will check with variation in minimum of
tubes rather than percentage variation. Sometimes it is not posible to arrange for
equal no of tubes within range and with specified parameters, then this endless
process will be stopped after specified Max . no of iterations.

Once No of tubes or OTL is fixed then select type of tube sheet by clicking the button
'Type' under heading of Side view of tube sheet and define various parameters of
tube sheet by clicking the button 'Variables' under heading of side view of tube sheet.
Define Bolt hole diameter and no of holes. This wil automatically calculate the 'Hole
Start Angle' so that the holes are straddled across the axis of the tube sheet.

Also select that how tube sheet layout will be drawn i.e. Draw tube holes or draw only
center marks or both.

Click on button 'OK' to draw tube layout at specifed point, It will draw both views (i.e.
front tube sheet and rear tube sheet).Once layout is drawn, it will ask for the insertion
point of text and height of text to write selected variables in the drawing.

end from the specified orientation degree.

For parameters X-Distance, Y-Distance and height of nozzle, change in any

parameter will be reflected on other.

Nozzle BS

The standard flange table will be BS Table. All the parameters are same as
discussed above.

Separate Nozzle

In this option the nozzle can be separately drawn irrespective of exchanger assembly
data. All the parameters are same as specified in the topic 'Nozzle' . The standard
flange table will be ANSI Table. Select pipe size and schedule from available list or
specify the pipe O/D and pipe thickness if made out of plate. Select flange type from
available list i.e. 'SORF, 'WNRF', 'SORF (HUB) & 'LONG NECK' and its Rating. Here

view. and type of surface on which it will be placed. i.e. Flat, Inclined or Curvature. In
case curvature define diameter of curvature and offset distance from center of
curvature. In case of Inclined surface it will ask for inclination angle at time of nozzle
drawing generation. Select any two points on the inclined surface in counter
clockwise direction or input the numeric value for defining the angle. 'Draw arc at
Base' option will allow you to draw a curve at end of nozzle (near nozzle insertion
point) as curve generated by mating of two cylinders.

If you draw the plan view it will ask you for the 'Rotation about vertical plane' (by
default it is zero), The option will draw circles in plan view. If an angle is specified
other than zero it will draw ellipses in plan view. If specified angle is zero it will draw
bolt holes of flange as first hole will be placed by the 'Starting angle for bolt hole',
Other holes will be at equidistance depending upon no. of bolt holes.

Reducer Nozzle

For very small sized nozzles, sometimes it is required to put higher size nozzle at
base and put required nozzle at top with help of reducer. The parameters are same
as specified under topic 'Seperate Nozzle'. There are three more parameters which
will decide the size of bottom (higher size) pipe. Specify nozzle size, schedule and
height of bottom pipe. The program will take standard height of reducer and calculate
the height of smaller size pipe required, which is reflected in bill of material.

Manhole

For Manhole all the parameters are same as discussed in 'Nozzle Data' , but one
more button is provided e.g.. 'Handle Arm Data' that will allow you to change the
parameter of Arm and/or Handle of selected manhole.

For Manhole : Specify diameter of handle bar, height, width and distance between
handle.

For Hinged type Manhole: Specify diameter of handle bar, height, width and distance

plate as seen in side view, Breadth of base plate i.e. width of base plate as
seen in elevation. Give thickness of rib and distance between ribs as per
specified no of. ribs. also select type rib arrangement i.e. keep rib plate on left
side , right side or in middle. Specify the R.Pad thickness, width i.e.. width
 outside the end of rib, breadth i.e. width of R.Pad plate seen in elevation. If
R.Pad is not required then apply R.Pad thickness as zero. End gap distance
is the distance from end of base plate to end of rib plate. specify end gap
distanc for elevation and side view. Also specify distance from shell center to
bottom of base plate (i.e. height of saddle). There are four bolt holes in each
base plate of saddle. Specify diameter of bolt hole and C/C distance for oval
shaped bolt hole (for sliding support), distance between bolt holes for
elevation and side view. There are two saddles provided on shell, specify
distance for first saddle from extreem left of moddle shell portion (i.e. outer
face of left flange on middle shell) and distance between saddles, also select
type of right side saddle same as left saddle or mirror view of left saddle from
the list. In case of saddle base plate width higher than diameter of shell
specify included angle of rib plate welded to shell. For left or right side rib
plate in elevation, specify width of rib plate at top, if it is higher than width at
base, it will draw inclined rib plate. Click on 'Get Standard Data' to apply the
standard data for Base plate for skirt support. The standard data is based on
Exchaner Main shell OD.

Lifting Lug

The option will draw plate type of lifting lug at periphery of exchanger shell. Specify
thickness ,height and width of lug plate. Also define hole diameter for lug and position
of hole from outer end of lug plate. Define R.pad thickness, width and breadth across
plane if required otherwise apply R.pad thickness as zero. Normally there are two
lifting lugs one of left side and other on right side in elevation, define distance of each
lug from extreem left face of middle shell. Define chamfer distance if chamfered end
selected from the Lug type list of 'Chamfered end' and 'Curved End'. Angle position of
lug will define the position of lug in Sideview.

Flange
The option will allow you to draw Standard flange. Select flange size from available
list. Selection of pipe schedule will decide internal bore of flange. Also select flange
type and flange rating from available list. 'Provide Blind Flange' will allow you to draw
flange along with blind flange. Normally this option will draw standard flange, If you
want to draw non-standard flange then click on button 'Change Flange Data' here you
specify the different parameters of flange. By default these data are standard data
from flange table.

Dish End

The option will draw required type of DishEnd separately. Different types of Dish End
are discussed below.

End Types :

1. Torrispherical : Specify Crown Radius, Knuckle Radius, Straight face and

thickness of the end. Click on 'Get Standard Data' will apply the standard
data for Torrispherical type dish end.

Cone Development

This is separate utility to generate cone development specifically Eccentric type cone.
Here you specify mean diameter at large end and mean diameter at small end along
with height of frustrum of cone. Since cone development will generate continuous
curve, the diameter will be divided in to small parts and then curve will be drawn, so
define no of division with which the curve will be generated. Here we draw only half
portion of cone development because the other half is same. The calculated
dimension (i.e. length and width of top and bottom segment) are written with specified
text height (will be asked on prompt while drawing generation).

ReAdjust Start Point

The program will generate exchanger assembly and keeps the various reference
points in datafile, so that when it is required it will be taken from the file. Once you
draw the assembly it will store the reference points, but afterwards if you change the
position of assembly (i.e. Elevation and/or Sideview), You must readjust the reference
point so that then onward it will use the new reference points. Click on the command
will prompt you for the new Extreme left point of exchanger assembly on center line of
shell while your cursor will stick to the original point. Select new point or press 'Enter'
to keep original point as new point, or press 'P' if you want to change the reference
point of Side view. If you press 'P' then it will ask for the new Center point of
SideView.

Once you press 'Enter' or Select the point, it will reconfirm it and then change the
points. In option change point of 'Elevation' it will change all the reference points with
respect to previous points whereas in 'Side view' option it will change the reference
point (i.e. Center of shell circle) by keeping reference points of Elevation as it is.

Weld Details

This option will allow you to import the predefined weld details with change in
dimension/text of some of the parameters. Some of common weld details are
supplied with the program, you can also increase these details (See topic 'Update
Weld Detail'). In dialog box/window on left side there is a list of available weld details
and on right side the view of selected detail. Specify the length and width of rectangle
in which the selected detail will be placed and rescaled as per specified dimensions.
The button 'Pick Distance' will allow you to select boundary area from the
screen/drawing area. Also specify the text height with which the prefined changeable
parameters will be written. Here your specified text height will be multiplied by
drawing scale and then text will be written (so that the text height is the height
required for Output of drawing on paper/hardcopy). At bottom the reference size of
selected detail is shown. It is the size with which originally detail was generated. If
you 'Apply with Reference Size' is selected, the detail will be drawn with reference
size and increased by the drawing scale. Click 'OK' to draw the detail and if any
changeable parameters are defined in the detail, user will be prompted for the
required changeable data with some default value. The details supplied with the
program are in large nos. and it is very difficult to find the required detail from long
list. Hence we have divided the detail under its related head so that when you click on
specific heading then only sorted details will be available in the selection list. Different
heading for details are,

Weld Detail

Weld Detail - 1

Weld Detail - 2

Tube sheet Detail

U-Bundle Detail

Flg-Flg Joint Detail

Gasket Detail

Tie-Rod Detail
 Tie-Rod Assembly Detail

Standard Weld Details

This option has same function as specified in topic 'Weld Detail' the only difference is,
that you can apply the value of changeable parameters from values defined in
exchanger assembly or from the available standard data. Say for example you want
to place Standard Manhole detail, Now in changeable parameter's screen you have
the button 'Get Default' which will replace your changeable default values with the
values defined for manhole in Vessel Assembly. The button 'Get Standard' will
replace your changeable default values with the values defined in standard data table
(If available otherwise it will be non-selective grey button).
