Problem Table Approach Procedure

The document describes a procedure for analyzing heat exchange networks: 1. Temperature intervals are established by shifting the hot and cold stream temperatures around the pinch temperature. 2. An energy balance is calculated for each interval to determine if it has a heat deficit or surplus. 3. The intervals are used to design the heat exchanger network, with heating only above the pinch and cooling only below.

Problem Table Approach Procedure

• Setup shifted temperature intervals from the stream supply and target temperatures by
subtracting ∆Tmin/2 from the hot stream and adding ∆Tmin/2 to the cold streams
• In each shifted temperature interval, calculate a simple energy balance from:

• If the cold stream dominate the hot streams in a temperature interval then the interval has
net deficit of heat and ∆H is positive. If hot streams dominate cold streams, the interval has
net surplus of heat and ∆H is negative.

Heat Exchanger Network Design
Network Grid Representation
• For designing a heat exchanger network the most helpful representation is the grid diagram.
• The streams are drawn as horizontal lines, with high temperatures on the left and hot streams
at the top, heat exchange matches are represented by two circles joined by a vertical line
• The grid is much easier to draw than a flowsheet especially as heat exchangers can be placed
in any order without redrawing the stream system. Also grid represents the counter current
nature of heat exchange, making it easier to check exchanger temperature feasibility
• Finally the pinch can easily represented in the grid, whereas it can not be represented on the
flowsheet

Summary/Steps for Heat Exchanger Network Design
• Dividing the problem at the pinch and designing each part separately
• Starting the design at the pinch and moving away
• Immediately adjacent to the pinch, obeying the constraints:
• (Above) for all hot streams
• (Below) for all cold streams
• Maximizing exchanger loads
• Supplying external heating only above the pinch and external cooling only below the pinch

Calculation of load above and below pinch

For cold stream For hot stream


Load above pinch = (200-130)*1 Load above pinch = 0
= 70

Load below pinch =(180-70) Load below pinch = -180
