Select Load Cases for Detailed Printout - PV Elite - Help - Hexagon

When analyzing the design with the multiple load cases, the program will generate summarized results for all the load cases in tabular form. To see the detailed equations and intermediate calculations for one or more load cases, select those load cases. The following load cases are performed for TEMA fixed tubesheets:

For ASME Tubesheets only certain load cases will be run based on type of the tubesheet and the heat exchanger. These following load cases are performed for ASME fixed and floating tubesheet exchangers:

For ASME stationary tubesheet configuration "d" and ASME floating tubesheet configurations "B", "C" and "D", the design is based only on load cases 1, 2 and 3.

The following load cases are performed for ASME U-tube tubesheet exchangers.

For all ASME exchangers, if vacuum pressures are specified, then an additional load case would be run:

Additionally, if the differential pressure design option is checked, then only certain load cases will be run.

• Fvt, Fvs - User-defined Shell-side and Tube-side vacuum pressures or 0.0.

• Ps, Pt - Shell-side and Tube-side Design Pressures.

• Th - With or Without Thermal Expansion.

• Ca - With or Without Corrosion Allowance.
