Lecture

Heat Recovery in Process Units

Description

This lecture covers the concept of heat recovery in process units, focusing on maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing energy consumption through the use of heat exchangers. It explains the calculation of heat exchanger areas, the energy savings of heat recovery heat exchangers, and the construction of composite curves to identify synergies between process units. The instructor also discusses the pinch analysis method to estimate the maximum heat recovery in a system and how to identify wrongly placed heat exchangers. Furthermore, the lecture delves into the construction and use of grand composite curves to optimize heat distribution within a system.
