• Separation System (S) Q from 2009 § Hot and Cold Streams in Distillation Columns
à Q: Why is the Reboiler identified as a Cold Stream, while the Condenser is identified as a Hot Stream, when the Reboiler has higher Temperature?
à A: A mixture is boiling in the Reboiler (liquid to vapor) and condensing in the condenser (vapor to liquid), thus heat must be supplied to the Reboiler and removed from the Condenser
à A: “Hot/Cold” refers to change in Thermodynamic State, not the absolute Temperature level of streams

à Q: Why are mCp values of condensers and reboilers as well as utilities said to be “infinity”?
à A: Consider the following (use Blackboard) à The slope of condensing/vaporizing streams in TQ diagrams à Enthalpy change for sensible vs. latent heat
à A: Some Software Packages use ΔT=1°C for condensing and vaporizing streams (results in very large mCp values, but not “infinity”)

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Targeting for Energy:
à Q: “I understand that heat transfer across the Pinch temperature is unfavorable, but does such a process require more energy?”
à A: Yes, the point is that the Pinch decomposes the process into two parts; one with heat deficit (above Pinch) and one with heat surplus (below Pinch). As a result, any heat transfer across the Pinch will make BOTH the deficit and surplus larger, and thus increase both external heating and cooling (i.e. energy)

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Targeting for Energy:
à Q: “In the solution to Exam 2012, the “simplified heat cascade” is used. Stream C2 has a target temperature of 215C, while in the simplified cascade, the interval temperature is 245C. Of course, in kW, this is “accounted for”. However, I get the same result using all temperatures, and it is then more clear”
à A: Yes, there are advantages (fewer intervals) and disadvantages (have to be careful with heat supply and rejection) with using the simplified heat cascade !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Targeting for Units:
à Q: “Euler’s Rule says U = N + L – S, where S stands for Subnetwork. What is a Subnetwork?”
à A: A Subnetwork means that some streams and units are in heat balance, and that there are no connections with other streams/units. Notice that S = 1 means that the entire network is connected, while S = 2 means there are 2 independent Subnetworks.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Targeting for Units:
à Q: “Euler’s Rule says U = N + L – S; is N the number of heaters, coolers and streams?”
à A: No!! N is the number of process streams and utility types !! (A very common misunderstanding)
à Q: “My notes say that L = Uactual – Umin, and it is emphasized that Uactual ≠ Umin,MER. In the solution to Assignment 7, it is said that U = Umin,MER ??”
à A: Distinguish Targets (before) from Design (after). Assign. 7 simply counts units. Remember Assign. 3

à Q: “In the Exam for 2008 there is one heater and two coolers. One of the coolers operates across Pinch. The task is to find Umin,MER. How to count for the cooler operating across Pinch?
à A: Yet another misunderstanding about the targeting formula for minimum number of units. The N-1 rule is applied at the targeting stage ahead of design, and should not be applied to a network. The background for the Exam question is to highlight that the network has 5 units while the minimum for MER is 7 units.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Design of HENs:
à Q: “In order to find the log mean temperature difference (LMTD) for heat exchangers one uses the inlet and outlet temperatures for the hot and cold side of the exchanger. What about utility exchangers (heaters and coolers) where we only have 2 temperatures?”
à A: Utility exchangers have a hot and cold side in the same way as process/process exchangers. LMTD is calculated based on the supply and target temperatures of the streams and the utilities. See previous Slide !!

à A: The Pinch Design Method has 2 important elements; decompose the problem at the Pinch (i.e. design separate networks above and below Pinch) and start the design at the Pinch. Considering cold inlet temperatures means starting in the cold end! See next Slide !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Design of HENs:
à Q: “Could you say something about Utility Pinch, how it arise, and what kind of Effects does it have?”
à A: Utility Pinch points arise only when we have more than one hot or more than one cold utility while at the same time maximizing the load (duty) of the cheaper utility to reduce total energy cost.
à A: Utility Pinch will directly and strongly affect the design of the network (one more “Region” for each such Pinch), and will result in a more complex network (more units and stream splits) with increased total area.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Advanced Design Tools for HENs:
à Q: “How do we construct the Driving Force Plot (DFP) and what is it used for?”
à A: Starting with the Composite Curves, the DFP is constructed by plotting corresponding values of cold composite temperatures and the temperature difference between the hot and the cold Composite Curves.
à A: The DFP is used as a qualitative tool for good distribution of driving forces and thus minimizing total heat transfer area. More specifically it is used to find stream split ratios and to “tame” the tick-off rule.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Advanced Design Tools for HENs:
à Q: “What is the Remaining Problem Analysis (RPA), and how/when do we use it?”
à A: The RPA is used as a quantitative tool to provide feedback to the designer who makes one decision at a time. The effect of accepting a specific heater, cooler or process/process heat exchangers is measured by estimating the “final” values for Energy, Area and Units by combining data for the “accepted” unit and the target values for the Remaining Problem.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Optimization of HENs:
à Q: “In Assignment 7, can I disregard process and utility Pinch points during Optimization?”
à A: Notice there is no Utility Pinch here, integrating the Condenser creates a new process Pinch !!
à A: The observation is correct though. After the MER design, we “forget” about the Pinch point(s), but still focus on having feasible driving forces (ΔT ≥ ΔTmin). Energy consumption will increase when reducing units, and heat will flow across the Pinch point(s) !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Optimization of HENs:
à Q: “What is the definition of Loops and Paths?” à A: A Heat Load Loop is a “connection” between units
and streams in such a way that the heat exchangers can change their duties (+/- x) without affecting the total enthalpy change of the streams involved.
à A: A Heat Load Path is similar to a Loop in the sense that the enthalpy change of the streams remains the same. A Path is used to repair ΔT problems after breaking a Loop. Thus it involves Utility exchangers.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Optimization of HENs:
à Q: “Is the objective of Optimization to break Loops by removing Units or is it to remove Units, and breaking Loops is a consequence of this?”
à A: The objective of Optimization (or Evolution) is both to reduce Total Annual Cost and to simplify network complexity (number of units and stream splits). This can be done by removing small Units, since these have a considerable cost while not recovering much energy. Network complexity is also a consequence of the PDM with Pinch decomposition.

à Q: “Can you explain the procedure for removing units from the MER-(i) design in the solution for Exam 2007, in particular the arguments why cooler Ca of 100 kW can not be removed?”
à A: The strategy is to try to remove the smallest units, and these can be both proc./proc. heat exchangers, heaters and coolers, but they have to be part of a loop. Quite often, however, some of these units can not be removed, since it turns out to be impossible to restore driving forces (ΔTmin). See next Slides !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Optimization of HENs:
à Q: “When manipulating a Heat Load Path by adding or subtracting a certain duty, how do we know which temperatures to focus on to assure sufficient driving forces?”
à A: Not easy to provide a simple answer here. Focus has to be on the heat exchanger(s) with driving force problems, and then to identify a heat load path that will improve these driving forces. Two situations: An easy one where one temperature is fixed and a more difficult one where both temperatures change.

à A: A forbidden match results in increased energy use and thus heat transfer across Pinch. Thus, Pinch decom-position and mCp rules cannot be used, and the match information comes from the extended heat cascade.
à A: The Pinch Concept is only used for MER design (Grassroots), XP Analysis (Retrofit) and Correct Integr. of dist. columns, evaporators, heat pumps/engines.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Forbidden Matches in HENs:
à Q: “In Exam June 2010, Task 1.d the forbidden match (H2-C1) results in extra steam and cooling water use of 800 kW each. How should this be referred to when the question asks about additional energy consumption?”
à A: Please do not say “1600 kW”, since the two utility types are very different and with very different cost !!
à Q: ”In the same task, it is stated (in the solution) that one advantage is larger driving forces in heat exchangers. How is this explained, and is it visible?”
à A: See next Slide !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Questions related to Forbidden Matches in HENs:
à Q: “In the cases of heat recovery problems with Forbidden Matches, when can the simplified Heat Cascade based only on Supply Temperatures be used?”
à A: Since we use the Heat Cascade to argue about how we can reach maximum heat recovery when there are forbidden matches, I strongly recommend the use of the complete heat cascade. This will make the reasoning easier and we do not have to worry about streams ending in the middle if temperature intervals !!

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Procedure for Retrofit Design:
à Q: ”A more clear “recipe” for how to propose changes to an existing network. What is important? Removal of small units? Reduce area? Reduce heating/cooling? Etc.”
à A: The Objective of retrofit is to save energy, thus one should look for changes (new units, additional area, repiping, resequencing, etc., that will reduce external heating and cooling.
à A: Unfortunately, retrofit requires creativity, and it is impossible to provide a water proof procedure.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § Retrofit Design – General Question:
à Q: “In a retrofit project, do we normally add a new unit, or can it be sufficient to “shift” a heat exchanger away from its cross Pinch situation?”
à A: It is extremely seldom that only repiping will improve heat recovery, but it happens …. When “shifting” a heat exchanger, the purpose is to reduce Cross Pinch heat transfer, and this will result in the release of heating resources above or release of cooling resources below Pinch. To take advantage of this, new units (one or more) are needed.

• Heat Recovery System (H) § General Question for Grassroot and Retrofit:
à Q: ”When do we use HRAT?” à A: In the early age of Pinch Analysis, people working
closely with industry (Oil Refineries) noticed that there was a large difference between the ΔTmin corresponding to the level of heat recovery and the smallest ΔT in the individual heat exchangers. As a result, they introduced HRAT (Heat Recovery Approach Temperature) and EMAT (Exchanger Minimum Approach Temperature). Today, HRAT is most often used in Retrofit as a target value indicating level of ambitions in energy savings.

à Q: “Assignment 8, at the end of the proposed solution, it is stated that without integration of the distillation column and use of heat pump, QH = 1200 kW and QC = 1300 kW. Can you explain this in more detail?”
à Q: This is simply because the distillation column has to be accounted for, not only the “background process”. The external heating and cooling requirements of the process is (see next slide) 800 and 900 kW, and then the distillation column (if not integrated) requires 400 kW.
