  • Optimization by stage-wise model for complex industrial heat exchanger network
    Kovač Kralj, Anita ; Glavič, Peter
    The heat exchanger network (HEN) can be optimized using the stage-wise model of superstructure representation as proposed by Yee and Grossmann (1990). The model can be solved easily for trivial ... problems but for the nontrivial, complex and industrial plant the model becomes nonsolvable because the high number of streams increases the number of stages and with them the number of combinations. The number of stages must be reduced for a complex industrial plant. The complex retrofitted and new designed HEN can be solved easily and well enough with less stages than the maximum number of hot or cold streams.
