At Enerquip, our thermal Design Engineers leverage state-of-the-art HTRI thermal design software, a comprehensive library of past designs, and a robust database of product properties. This combination ensures that your equipment is tailored to meet specific process flow conditions, temperature requirements, desired thermal efficiency, and physical footprint, providing you with confidence in the performance of your equipment.

Our engineers bring technical expertise, knowledge of ASME Code, TEMA, and API standards, and extensive industry experience to tackle even the most challenging applications. We prioritize designing equipment with the smallest footprint and lowest cost possible while maintaining safety and ease of maintenance.

Enerquip’s Thermal Design Process

Step 1: Initial Review

Upon receiving your online RFQ, or when you contact us by phone or email, an engineer with experience in your industry will review your process and utility data, sizing, project timeline, materials of construction, and footprint.

Step 2: Thermal Calculations and Design Options

We then use HTRI thermal calculation software to provide options for equipment styles and sizes, considering code and pressure drop requirements, safety concerns, cleaning requirements, and space constraints. We invite you to join us in reviewing the design virtually, allowing for fine-tuning and adjustments.

Step 3: Finalizing Design Specifications

Next, we consider your requested connection types, necessary expansion joints, preferred mounting and footprint, and insulation or coating specifications. We also explore options to optimize operation and cleaning based on your equipment’s needs. The outcome is a detailed data sheet capturing all process and mechanical details, along with your selected options.

Step 4: Design Approval and Fabrication

Once you choose to work with Enerquip and we receive your order, our Design Engineers will use your data sheet and specifications, along with Compress code software and SolidWorks, to create a 2D or 3D design and provide a general arrangement drawing. This includes designing and sizing your equipment, which you will review and approve before fabrication begins.
