The Need to Heat and Cool Process Streams
• Feed usually enters a process from a storage vessel that is maintained at ambient temperature. If it is to be reacted at an elevated temperature, it must be heated.
• After the reaction has taken place, the reactor effluent stream must be purified, which usually requires cooling the stream, and possibly condensing it, prior to separating it.
• Thus energy must first be added, then removed.
Heat IntegrationHeat exchange networksIt saves money to match streams rather than pay to heat one and pay to cool another

The Concept of Heat Integration
• The concept of Heat Integration, in its simplest form, is to find matches between heat additions and heat removals within the process.
• In this way, the total utilities that are used to perform these energy transfers can be minimized, or rather optimized.
• The number of heat exchangers needed to perform these energy transfers can also be minimised.

Example Problem (continued 8)
The hot and cold stream lines are plotted, as shown on the following figure. Clearly, there is a temperature cross, so the cold stream line is shifted to the right until the minimum approach temperature of 10°C exists at one point. (It could exist at more than one point by coincidence.) For this problem, all Q values for the cold stream must be increased by 130 kW, as shown in the figure. Note how the hot and cold utility requirements are apparent from the diagram.

7. The easiest way to determine the minimum number of heat exchangers is to draw boxes to represent the heat available in each stream and from the utilities both above and below the pinch. This identifies the minimum number, but not necessarily the correct stream matches. The correct number of heat exchangers is the number of process streams + the number of utility streams – 1.

When dealing with streams away from the pinch, this criterion is no longer needed. Any streams can be matched as long as the

temperatures are valid. If the criterion atthe pinch appears impossible to satisfy,streams can be split to satisfy the criterion.

Example Problem (continued 13)11. From the previous diagram, stream 1 can
be matched with stream 3 or 4. Note that, for this step, only streams that are present at the pinch are considered.
12. The next step is to transfer heat from hot to cold stream by placing a heat exchanger (1) in the temperature diagram.

Example Problem (continued 14)13. Heat exchanger (1) transfers Q1= 120 from
stream 1 to stream 3. This fulfils requirement of stream 3.
14. There is still remaining Q2 = 60 in stream 1 which can be transferred to stream 4 by adding another heat exchanger (2) as in the following diagram.

15. Next, heat exchanger (3) is used to transfer Q3 = 60 from Hot Utilities to Stream 3.

17. Streams are matched and heat exchangers areadded until all required heat transfer isaccomplished. The entire network, both aboveand below the pinch, can then be represented onone diagram.
