2. • The subflowsheet operation uses a multi-level flowsheet
architecture and provides a flexible and simplified method for
building a simulation.
• It is very useful when simulating a large, complex processing
facility with a number of individual process units.

3. Example of Using Subflowsheet

4. How to Add Subflowsheet? (1st Method)

5. How to Add Subflowsheet? (2nd Method)

6. Source for Subflowsheet
1. Read an Existing Template: Using existing
template available in Hysys (.tpl)
2. Start With a Blank Flowsheet: Using our own
template
3. Paste Exported Objects: Hysys imports
previously exported object (.hfl) into a new
subflowsheet

7. Transfer Basis
• Each subflowsheet can have its
own fluid property package. For
example, in main flowsheet using
Peng-Robinson and subflowsheet
using Amines package.
• In this case, transfer basis in
subflowsheet shall be considered.
• Transfer basis determines which
parameter that we want to keep
the value equal when we transfer
stream to different fluid package

8. • Refrigeration Cycle Principle
