Aspen HTFS Research Network™
A comprehensive reference to the science and technology
supporting the Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating suite of thermal
design programs
The Aspen HTFS Research Network provides online access to
comprehensive references to heat exchanger theory and practice,
detailed derivation and comparisons of design methods, validation
of design procedures, description of the technical methods used by
the Aspen Exchanger Design & Rating thermal suite of products,
and over 40 years of HTFS research. The Aspen HTFS Research Network
is offered as specially licensed subscription service. This gives
users access to a dedicated Web Site with comprehensive document
archives which are updated at regular intervals.
