The current targeting method for a heat exchanger network identifies an optimum point from
material and energy balance prior to design. This optimum point is obtained by tradeoff …

In this work, the methods used in pinch design were applied to a heat exchanger network
with the aid of an improved problem algorithm table. This table enables one to compose …

Recent developments in pinch technology allow the capital/energy tradeoff in heat
exchanger networks to be set prior to design. Targets for both energy and capital costs are …

The established aspects of pinch technology which form the basis for new development
allowing optimum trade-off between capital and energy costs to be determined ahead of …

A total cost targeting method based on pinch technology for heat exchanger network (HEN)
synthesis is presented, which combines existing targeting methods for the grass-roots …

The process industries consume a huge amount of heat energy contributing to
environmental impact. Energy recovery is a key instrument of energy-saving that can be …

A free piece of educational software for heat exchanger network design based on the pinch
method is presented. The interface of the program has been designed focusing on getting a …

An extension of the utility targeting procedure in the pinch method for heat exchanger
network synthesis is presented. The procedure is adequate for targeting the minimum utility …

For refineries throughout the world, energy management is an important element for
controlling total operating costs. Over the past decades there appears to be an urgent need …

Abstract Process Integration using the Pinch Analysis technique has been widely used as a
tool for the optimal design of heat exchanger networks (HENs). The Composite Curves and …
