Hi!

We are using PVElite 2004, and have noted that while the CodeCalc component analysis of heat exchanger tubesheets has a provision to input the Shell side and Channel side Vacuum pressure, the same is not available whilst analysing the same using PVElite. Hence should the design pressure value be manually corrected for presence of Vacuum on opposite side when analysing the same using PVElite??? Please do clarify at the earliest.
