Heat Exchanger Network-Part-2 (Overview)

Example Problem of HEN
Designing of HEN
• Designing a Heat Exchanger Network
• Problem Statement
Design a Heat Exchanger Network that has four process
streams with inlet temperatures of 30, 80, 150, 180°C and
respective outlet temperatures of 135, 140, 30, 60°C.
Note: In this problem we will use Temperature Interval

Method for Heat Exchanger Networks
Designing of HEN
• Solution: This problem has two parts A and B.
• A: Determine MER (Minimum Energy Requirement)
using Temp. Interval Method (TI).
Q=cmΔT =CΔT
Step: 1: Create the table of all streams
Streams Ts (°C) Tt (°C) C (kW/°C) Q (kW)
H1 180 60 3 360
Hot Load
H2 150 30 1 120 480
C1 30 135 2 210 Cold Load
C2 80 140 5 300 510
Assumption: Constant
w.r.t Temp.
Ts = Source Temp. , Tt = Target Temp.,
C: Heat capacity flowrate = m (mass flowrate) x c (heat capacity) = Energy/temp
Designing of HEN
Step: 2: Designate Δtmin = 10°C (A good start)
Streams Ts (°C) Tt (°C) Ts(°C) Tt (°C) C (kW/°C)

- Subtract the ΔTmin from Ts and Tt of Hot streams
These are the
temperatures used
for making intervals

Some Basics about Heat Exchangers

ΔT2 Q ΔT1
Tco Tci Cc
Ch and Cc are Specific Heat flowrates (Energy/Temp.)

Q=Ch (Thi – Tho) (Thi – Tho)= Q/Ch (ΔT2 – ΔT1)= Q (Cc – Ch)
Q=Cc (Tco – Tci) (Tco – Tci)= Q/Cc Taking difference Cc Ch
Hot side of Pinch: ΔT1=ΔTmin ΔT2=ΔTmin+ Q(Cc-Ch)/(Cc Ch) Cc ≥ Ch
Cold side of Pinch: ΔT2=ΔTmin ΔT1=ΔTmin- Q(Cc-Ch)/(Cc Ch) Ch ≥ Ci

270=5(X-80)=> X=134°C 90=2(80-X)=> X=35°C
At Node B1 At Node G At Node F1
Q=1(150-90)=60 kW Q=1(80-30)=50 kW Q=1(90-30)=60 kW
At Node B2 At Node F2
