Summary

BEFORE THE NETWORK IS DESIGNED, ONE MAY BALANCE THE CAPITAL COST OF AREA AGAINST THE COST OF HEATING AND COOLING UTILITY SAVINGS. AN INITIAL OPTIMAL PINCH APPROACH TEMPERATURE EQUATION IS DERIVED BY MAXIMIZING THE ANNUAL NET COST SAVING. AFTER THAT, FURTHER ECONOMIC SAVINGS MAY BE REALIZED AS ONE EXPLORES REDUCING THE MINIMUM NUMBER OF EXCHANGERS TO MAKE THE HEAT LOADS OF THE STREAMS LINEARLY DEPENDENT SEPARATELY ABOVE AND BELOW THE PINCH.
