Abstract The emergence of Pinch Analysis from more than four decades ago opened a new
area of intense research development that has even accelerated in recent years. Initially …

The improvement of heat recovery in the industry has traditionally been approached from
two different viewpoints–Process Intensification and Process Integration. Many of the …

Heat Integration with heat exchanger network (HEN) is a widely used way to save energy
and improve efficiency. Varied types of heat exchangers and materials would influence the …

Heat pumps are a promising solution for reducing greenhouse gas emissions because they
harness environmental or waste heat and can use renewable electricity. Technologically …

Graphical tools are useful in the heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit to maximise energy
savings. The disadvantage of heuristic rules, which are usually applied to make retrofit …

This work provides an overview of recent graphical approaches which can provide
beneficial support for various applications enhancing cleaner production and, consequently …

Heat exchanger network synthesis is an essential optimisation tool for Process Integration,
particularly in energy-intensive industries. Proper design or retrofit of heat exchanger …

Energy integration of the existing chemical and petrochemical facilities is regarded as a
keystone for sustainable energy systems. It is widely known that a considerable number of …

Heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit is a vital task in the process design to improve energy
savings. Various types of heat exchangers such as shell and tube, double-pipe, compact …

The retrofit of heat exchanger network often needs topology changes to overcome the
network pinch to increase heat recovery. It is difficult to maximize energy recovery and …
