Summary

THE PAPER PRESENTS THE STATE OF THE ART OF HEAT EXCHANGER NETWORK SYNTHESIS METHODS TOGETHER WITH SOME APPLICATIONS TO PREVIOUS LITERATURE PROBLEMS. AN EVALUATION OF THE VARIOUS METHODS IS PERFORMED FROM AN INDUSTRIAL POINT OF VIEW. THERE IS ALSO A BRIEF DISCUSSION OF SOME OF THE SOFTWARE TOOLS AVAILABLE TO SOLVE SUCH PROBLEMS. THE PRESENTATION EMPHASIZES THE DESIGN OF THE HEAT EXCHANGER NETWORK ITSELF, ALTHOUGH INTERACTIONS WITH THE REST OF THE PROCESS AND THE UTILITY SYSTEM INEVITABLY ARE DISCUSSED. THE ASPECTS OF FLEXIBILITY AND OPERABILITY ARE ALSO BRIEFLY MENTIONED.
