Energy integration of industrial processes based on the analysis method extended to include energy factors.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The paper aims at extending the number of factors considered in pinch analysis towards a life-cycle optimisation and proposes new synthesis representation schemes. The proposed extension takes into account heat transfer exergy losses, the pressure drop exergy losses and the exergy associated with the fabrication of the heat exchangers. The extended composite curves graphically represent the above-mentioned losses on a Carnot factor versus heat rate diagram. In a similar way, other high exergy inputs and outputs linked, for example, to the introduction of heat pumps and cogeneration units, are represented on a topping electricity versus Carnot factor diagram.
