I am trying to model an existing reboiler in our refinery and need some help. I have finished the shell and now when I enter a U-tube bundle, it protrudes to the channel side rather than into the shell. Any ideas on how to flip this to the other side? Thanks,

Hi J,

In PV Elite under the Tubesheet Properties tab, there is a checkbox titled:

"Tubesheet Assembly is down/left". Try checking the box. Another alternative is to re-model the unit as if you were standing on the other side (180 deg.) of the the exchanger.

Scott,
The check box did it. Thanks,
