Retrofit design of flexible heat exchanger networks. Problem analysis and basis for retrofitting strategy
The problem of retrofitting heat exchanger networks under uncertainty is presented. The first part includes a detailed analysis of the problem. The method based on graph representation of a network has been developed. The approach enables determining all information paths caused by design changes. On this basis a general strategy for retrofitting flexible heat exchanger networks, called downstream strategy has been formulated.
