Introduction
This document describes the multi plate heat exchanger (MHPE) in CAS2000. It contains an instruction of how
to make a simple design and how to get a green light in mechanical configuration. This document builds on an
example, which is included in CAS2000. It can e.g. be used when testing that MPHE is correctly installed on a
computer. It does not describe the MPHE product as such.
