We’re excited to share some big news — XLThermo is here! After months of hard work, we’re thrilled to release this engineering toolbox for Microsoft Excel, built to make life easier for engineers in the chemical process industries.
Let’s face it — most engineers don’t need a massive process simulator for their everyday work. A recent AIChE survey confirmed it: engineers often prefer simpler tools. But while there are plenty of simulation packages out there, tools that are simple, powerful, and easy to use isn’t as common. That’s where XLThermo comes in.
Since Excel is already the go-to tool for many calculations and modeling tasks, we decided to build XLThermo as an add-in that integrates directly with it. No need to learn something new — just open Excel, and you’re good to go!
In this first release, XLThermo includes:
And this is just the beginning! We’re already planning features like mixture property calculations, pressure drop estimation, equipment sizing, and more in future updates.
The basic version of XLThermo is free forever, so why not give it a go? If you run into any issues, or have ideas to make it better, shoot us an email at support@xlthermo.com.
We can’t wait for you to try XLThermo. Download it today and see how it can simplify your work!
