1
IntroductionActivated Exchanger Design & Rating (EDR) is a new Activated Analysis tool available within AspenTech’s V8.4
simulators, Aspen Plus® and Aspen HYSYS®. Like Activated Energy Analysis and Activated Economic Evaluation, Activated
EDR helps process engineers quickly evaluate feasible design alternatives and immediately assess the impact on
flowsheet capital and operating expenditures.
Activated EDR provides an easy way to convert simple heat exchanger models to rigorous models, and provides quick
access to rigorous model details. The EDR dashboard uses visual indicators to convey information about heat exchangers’
model status and shows all operational risks, if any, that have been detected in rigorous heat exchanger models.
New Capabilities
• Convert simple heat exchanger models into rigorous designs in one click to obtain a fully rigorous, cost-optimized
geometry that accurately models thermal and hydraulic performance
• Easily track and change the model-type for all heat exchanger equipment in the simulation
• Instantly view operational risks, such as vibration and erosion, right from the flowsheet
Overview of the User Interface
Starting Activated EDR
EDR Activation is turned on and off from the Activated Analysis panel. Open the Analysis Panel by clicking on the
Activated Analysis button on the Home ribbon (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Opening the Activated Analysis panel
Click the heat exchanger icon to turn it on and click the close button to turn it off (Figure 2). Opening and closing the EDR
dashboard does not affect the EDR models in your flowsheet; it will not automatically convert a simple model to rigorous
and vice versa. It will simply reveal more information about the heat exchanger models in your simulation and provide
access to EDR controls.

The EDR Dashboard
The dashboard is the first component displayed when you activate EDR (Figure 3). It contains two pie charts: Model
Status and Operational Risk.
Figure 3: The EDR dashboard
The Model Status Pie Chart
The Model Status Pie Chart shows relatively how many exchanger models in the flowsheet are rigorous EDR and how
many are simple. Rigorous EDR models provide much greater accuracy in modeling the actual operation of heat exchanger
equipment in a process as compared to simple models. The percentage of grey in this chart represents an opportunity to
improve the fidelity of the process model.
Simple models provide a very limited amount of sizing data that is only accurate within a small range of operating points.
Rigorous models provide full heat exchanger geometry, and model heat transfer and hydraulic performance as process
conditions change.
The Operational Risk Pie Chart
The Operational Risk Pie Chart shows the proportion of exchangers in the flowsheet that contain identified risks. Only
rigorous models can predict when an operation risk is present, therefore no operation risk status is given for simple
models. For rigorous models, the yellow section of the pie chart indicates a warning was detected by EDR.
All of the operation risk warnings that are identified by EDR have been classified into categories for Activation. The yellow
categories for each model type are shown below, as well as a sample of the red risks for Shell&Tube exchangers. Red risks
are reserved for the most serious risk types and are extremely rare.
Color Model Status
Grey Simple heat exchanger
Blue Rigorous exchanger
RedRigorous exchanger,
calculation error
Color Operation Risk Level
Grey Simple heat exchanger
Green Rigorous exchanger, no warnings
Yellow Rigorous exchanger, operation warnings detected
Red Rigorous exchanger, serious risks detected

Model Status Flowsheet Components
Model Status highlights circle rigorous exchangers in blue (Figure 5) and simple exchangers in grey (Figure 6). Hover over
a blue highlight to see a setting plan for the EDR design, as well as key geometry and heat transfer information. Hover over
a grey highlight to see information about the simple model and convert the model to rigorous.

Operational Risk Flowsheet Components
Click on the Operational Risk panel of the dashboard to reveal which exchangers contain operational risks detected by
EDR. Hover over the highlight to show which kinds of warnings are present for that exchanger (Figure 7). Click on the
circle at the flyover’s heading to reveal a 2nd level flyover that shows the exact warning found by EDR (Figure 8).

The Activated EDR Summary TableThe Summary table is an organized list of all heat exchangers in your flowsheet. From this table you can access rigorous
exchanger forms, convert models from simple to rigorous and rigorous back to simple, and view operation warnings for all
models in your flowsheet (Figure 9).
All of the columns in this table can be sorted ascending or descending. The last three columns can also be filtered. This
allows you the flexibility to look at all models in a particular flowsheet, sort by model status, look at only heat exchangers
that contain risks, and etc.

Summary Table Organization
Column 1:
Exchanger Name
Displays the title of the unit operation block for that exchanger. If the model is rigorous, this
title will be a link to open the unit operation form and display the EDR model details.
Column 2:
Subflowsheet:Shows the location of the exchanger if it’s located in a subflowsheet or hierarchy block.
Column 3:
Model Status
Contains a toggle button that shows the EDR model type or “Convert” for simple models.
Click on this button to convert the exchanger from simple to rigorous or vice versa.
Column 4:
Operation Risk Status
For rigorous models, an indicator shows the exchanger’s operational risk status. Click the
indicator to view the operation warnings for this heat exchanger. Click on the column
heading to view a summary of all risks.

rigorous EDR models in Aspen HYSYS.
Rigorous Model Types Supported in Aspen HYSYS:
Figure 10. Simple to Rigorous Model conversions
Converting a Simple Model to Rigorous EDR
Convert forms for simple models can be accessed from either the Activated EDR Summary Table or the Model Status
Flowsheet Flyovers, shown below in Figure 11.

Click on the Convert button from either of these locations to begin model conversion. The form shown below in Figure 12
will open.
Convert forms in HYSYS
Heat Exchanger and Air Cooler unit operations allow for autosizing, interactive sizing, and file import to convert to a
