The improvement of heat recovery in the industry has traditionally been approached from
two different viewpoints–Process Intensification and Process Integration. Many of the …

Graphical tools are useful in the heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit to maximise energy
savings. The disadvantage of heuristic rules, which are usually applied to make retrofit …

Heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofitting improves heat recovery and thus reduces energy
required in existing plants. This can be achieved by either increasing the heat transfer area …

Energy savings in existing plants usually have positive economic and environmental
impacts. Mathematical approaches to heat-exchanger network (HEN) retrofit are complex …

This research is trying to develop a new procedure for retrofit of HENs including pressure
drop using genetic algorithm (GA) coupled with linear programming (LP) and integer linear …

Heat exchanger networks (HENs) are a useful method of reducing the energy costs and
environmental impact of industrial processes. Therefore, many papers focusing on solving …

Reduction of energy requirements in the process industries results in increased profitability
and better environmental performance. Methods for heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit …

Pinch analysis is based on the hot, cold and grand composite curves and is the most
commonly-used approach to identify strategies for reducing energy consumption by heat …

HEN (heat exchanger network) retrofitting is useful to reduce energy consumption in the
existing process industries. In this study, several ERS (exchanger reassignment strategies) …

Numerous design methods for the retrofit of heat exchanger networks have been proposed
over the years, with most depending greatly on topology modification and additional heat …
