换热器结垢与换热网络裕量设计方法研究进展

从结垢现象影响换热系统正常运行的角度出发,介绍了近几年换热网络裕量设计以及针对结垢问题不同学者研究出的换热网络优化设计。总结了在换热网络设计中对换热器清洗时序、清洗周期优化或者增加换热网络的裕量设计的不同换热网络设计最优方法,但这些方法都是在换热网络设计之初,考虑换热器结垢最严重的情况即换热网络在“最差”工况下进行的优化,因此优化得到的换热网络难以保证换热网络全运行周期的持续节能优化。本文结合现有换热网络设计方法的利弊,针对结垢过程的慢时变、持续特点,提出一种基于长周期持续节能的换热网络设计优化方法,在换热网络设计之初,定量分析结垢对网络结构的影响,以换热网络全周期累积总费用为目标函数,实现换热网络的最优综合。

柔性换热网络综合与清洗计划同步优化(英文)

A novel methodology is presented for simultaneously optimizing synthesis and cleaning schedule of flexible heat exchanger network (HEN) by genetic/simulated annealing algorithms (GA/SA). Through taking into account the effect of fouling process on optimal network topology, a preliminary network structure possessing twofold oversynthesis is obtained by means of pseudo-temperature enthalpy (T-H) diagram approach prior to simultaneous optimization. Thus, the computational complexity of this problem classified as NP (Non-deterministic Polynomial)-complete can be significantly reduced. The promising matches resulting from preliminary synthesis stage are further optimized in parallel with their heat exchange areas and cleaning schedule. In addition, a novel continuous time representation is introduced to subdivide the given time horizon into several variable-size intervals according to operating periods of heat exchangers, and then flexible HEN synthesis can be implemented in dynamic manner. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate that the presented strategy is feasible to decrease the total annual cost (TAC) and further improve network flexibility, but even more important, it may be applied to solve large-scale flexible HEN synthesis problems.

Synthesis of flexible multi-stream heat exchanger networks based on stream pseudo-temperature with genetic/simulated annealing algorithms

The synthesis of flexible heat exchanger network (HEN) is generally regarded as an over-design of process units over a specified range of deviations in process parameters from their nominal values. The HEN obtained is more costly because of the over-design of HEN. The global solution to flexible design problems cannot be guaranteed because of the resulting non-differentiable, non-convex, max–min–max constraint of mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) models. In this paper a new simultaneous two-stage strategy for synthesizing flexible multi-stream HEN (FMSHEN), optimized by genetic/simulated annealing algorithm (GA/SA), is presented. First, based on the pseudo-temperature enthalpy (T–H) diagram method, a new nonlinear programming (NLP) formulation involving all of the vertices of the polyhedral uncertainty region in the space of process parameters is proposed, with the supposition that the feasible region defined by the reduced inequality constraints is convex. An over-design FMSHEN is obtained by optimizing the stream heat transfer temperature difference contribution. Secondly, the optimal structure of the over-design FMSHEN is retained and each heat exchanger area is modified in order to make the FMSHEN less costly. The total annual cost of MSHEN, obtained from the simulation of MSHEN according to the vertices of the polyhedral uncertain region, is regarded as an objective function, and GA/SA is adopted for optimizing the heat exchanger areas. The remarkable feature of the strategy is that the size and the complexity of the problem are reduced significantly and with more probability of locating the global solution. Finally, two examples are illustrated to demonstrate the performance of the strategy for the synthesis of flexible multi-stream heat exchanger networks.     

基于温度和热容流率同时变化的有分流换热网络弹性设计的研究

A new superstructure model of heat exchanger networks (HEN) with stream splits based on rangers of streams supply temperatures and heat capacity flow rates is presented. The simultaneous optimal mathematical model of flexible HEN synthesis is established too. Firstly, the streams with rangers of supply temperatures and/or the streams with the rangers of heat capacity flow rates are pretreated; Secondly, several rules are proposed to establish the superstructure model of HEN with splits and the simultaneous optimal mathematical model of flexible HEN; Thirdly, the improving genetic algorithm is applied to solve the mathematical model established at the second step effectively, and the original optimal structure of HEN based on the maximum operation limiting condition can be obtained easily; Finally, the rules of heat exchange unit merged and the heat load of heat exchanger relaxed are presented, the flexible configuration of HEN satisfied the operation condition between the upper and down bounds of supply temperature and heat capacity flow rates can be obtained based on the original optimal structure of HEN by means of these rules. A case study demonstrates the method presented in this paper is effective     

A Method for Flexible Heat Exchanger Network Design under Severe Operation Uncertainty

Most investigations on heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis which plays an important role in improving the efficiency of industrial plants, focus on deterministic conditions whereas operational flexibility and feasibility are less concerned. In the real industrial world, each system experiences various disturbances due to changes in stream temperature, flow rate, and other uncertain factors. An approach for flexible HEN synthesis under severe operation uncertainty is proposed, which is represented by the Probability bounds analysis (PBA) theory and is sampled by a double‐loop sampling method. A case study, which generates a better solution with less total annual cost and good flexibility under severe uncertainty, demonstrates the capability of this simplified approach.     

Design of heat exchanger network based on entransy theory

The heat exchanger network (HEN) synthesis problem based on entransy theory is analyzed. According to the characteristics of entransy representation of thermal potential energy, the entransy dissipation represents the irreversibility of the heat transfer process, the temperature difference determines the entransy dissipation, and four HEN design steps based on entransy theory are put forward. The present study shows how it is possible to set energy targets based on entransy and achieve them with a network of heat exchangers by an example of heat exchanger network design for four streams. In order to verify the correctness of the heat exchanger networks design method based on entransy theory, the synthesis of the HEN for the diesel hydrogenation unit is studied. Using the heat exchange networks design method based on entransy theory, the HEN obtained is consistent with energy targets. The entransy transfer efficiency of HEN based on entransy theory is 92.29%, higher than the entransy transfer efficiency of the maximum heat recovery network based on pinch technology.
