ESATAN and FHTS
 
The Tool ESATAN is a software package for the prediction of temperature and heat flows using a thermal lumped parameter network. It is the standard European thermal analysis tool used to support the design and verification of space thermal control systems. FHTS is an extension to ESATAN. It enables the combined thermal and hydraulic analysis of single-phase and two-phase piped fluid networks. For more information please see the technical briefs.
