考虑压降的换热网络研究

在换热网络综合设计中,压降是一重要影响因素。安装泵、压缩机等设备可克服流体流动过程中的阻力损失,这些动力设备的投资费用和能耗费用(简称动力费用)是换热网络总投资的重要部分,所以年总费用目标函数中应包括公用工程费用、换热器投资费用和动力费用,这三者应作权衡处理来决定最优夹点温差ΔTmin,以得到年总费用最小、结构更优化的换热网络。     

Heat Exchanger Network Integration Considering Flow Exergy Loss

This work describes a systematic procedure to integrate a heat exchanger network (HEN) considering heat and flow exergy consumptions. The flow exergy consumption by the HEN is calculated by means of pressure drop correlation and stepwise optimization. Case studies reveal that the flow exergy loss changes the two‐way trade‐off between the operating cost and the capital cost in the traditional method. The introduction of heat exergy loss adds the weight of energy cost by considering both the external utility consumption and internal heat exergy loss in the HEN, which benefits heat recovery and energy conservation at the cost of more area and investment. In contrast, the flow exergy loss shifts the balance to the capital cost by adding the cost relating to area in terms of flow frictional dissipation.     

Design of flexible heat exchanger network for multi-period operation

Heat exchanger networks (HENs) increase heat recovery from industrial processes by matching hot and cold streams to exchange heat and reducing utility consumption. The design of HENs is a very complex task which generally involves mixed-integer non-linear programming (MINLP).This work evaluates and critically compares existing HEN design methods. It then presents a systematic methodology in the design of HENs under multiple periods of operation. The model presented in this work is a superstructure-based MINLP model which minimises the total annualised cost containing heat exchanger area cost and utility costs. The model is based on the superstructure by Yee and Grossmann [1990. Simultaneous optimisation models for heat integration—II, heat exchanger network synthesis. Computer & Chemical Engineering 14(10), 1165-1184], which was later formulated for multiple periods by Aaltola [2002. Simultaneous synthesis of flexible heat exchanger network. Applied Thermal Engineering 22, 907-918]. It includes a multi-period simultaneous MINLP model to design the HEN structure, and an NLP model to improve the solution and allow for non-isothermal mixing. Modifications to Aaltola's model include the use of maximum area per period in the area cost calculation of the MINLP objective function, and the removal of slack variables and weighed parameters from the existing NLP improvement model.The new model has been applied to one industrial case study, demonstrating that the new combined MINLP-NLP model can obtain better solutions by not relying on the average area assumption in the MINLP stage.     

柔性换热器网络综合与清洗时序安排同步优化

提出在柔性换热器网络设计时考虑设备投入运行后实施在线清洗时序安排的同步优化方法,实现换热器网络动态综合。为降低该问题计算的复杂性,提出采用两阶段法。第一阶段利用虚拟温-焓图法初步综合获得考虑设备结垢过程和流股入口温度、热容流率发生变化时的多周期柔性网络,在同步优化之前识别出较优匹配候选。第二阶段,换热网络结构、设备面积和清洗时序安排利用遗传/模拟退火算法进行同步优化。通过积分方法来计算随时间变化的公用工程消耗,所建立的数学模型因此比以往文献更加严格。计算实例表明,所提方法有效降低年度总费用,同时能够解决大规模柔性换热器网络综合问题。     

Margin design,online optimization,and control approach of a heat exchanger network with bypasses

During the life cycle operation of a heat exchanger network (HEN), factors such as equipment aging, gradually decrease heat transfer performance and increase energy consumption. Industrial HEN design currently fails to effectively solve these problems. To resolve this problem, we present an online optimization and control approach method for an HEN with bypasses. The approach is based on the principles of sustainable energy conservation during the life cycle. The area margin of the heat exchanger is gradually released via bypass adjustment, thereby resulting in energy conservation. First, bypasses are set on the HEN to enhance HEN control and enable optimal manipulation of the equipment. Then, the total cumulative cost increment of the HEN, including the increment of utility costs and equipment investment costs, is regarded as the objective function. The effects of the heat transfer efficiency of the heat exchanger and the effects of bypass adjustment are also taken into account. We solve the optimal design margin of the HEN, thereby providing an operational space for optimal control. Finally, using the margin optimization design of the HEN with bypasses as basis, we treat the cumulative costs of the HEN in a certain cycle as the objective function to solve the optimal opening dynamically. While, we present an optimal control structure, which is combined with existing conventional control loops. The HEN of a given crude distillation unit in a refinery is chosen as the research object. And, results illustrate the effectiveness and application prospects of the proposed method.     

考虑压力因素的柴油加氢改质装置换热网络改造

在换热网络设计和改造中考虑压力因素,可以提高换热网络的经济性。本文采用夹点技术,针对某炼厂柴油加氢改质装置,提出了3种不同程度考虑压力因素的换热网络优化方案。方案1为最大热回收方案,不考虑压力约束,回收热量最大但投资也最高;方案2,在考虑可更换反应进料泵的前提下,考虑压力因素,适合于该换热网络的新设计;方案3,在维持反应进料泵不动的前提下,考虑压力因素,适合于该换热网络的改造。方案2和方案3均较方案一明显地减少了设备投资费用,具有更好的经济效益,说明了在换热网络综合中压力因素不可忽视。     

功热交换网络综合的研究进展

功和热是化工工业中使用能源的两种最主要方式,由于流股压力、温度操作需要消耗大量的功热,因此研究功热的协同利用对于提高过程整体能源利用率具有重要的意义。本文首先概述了基于热力学分析的功热交换网络综合的研究情况,以系统?耗最小为目标探讨压缩机、膨胀机优化配置与换热网络用能瓶颈的耦合关系,揭示了功热协同利用的作用机制。然后系统地总结了以年度总费用最小为目标的数学规划模型综合功热交换网络的研究进展,探寻压力操作路径、流股功/热交换匹配、公用工程消耗量及设备投资之间的有效权衡;最后对后续研究进行展望,指出可进一步探究考虑流股冷热性质判定的功热交换网络同步综合、公用工程系统优化与功热交换网络同步设计的耦合等。     

超结构法分步综合热集成的质量交换网络

质量交换网络(MEN)和热交换网络(HEN)之间有较强的交互作用,传统的夹点技术很难考虑两个网络之间的相互作用。针对这一问题,采用基于分级超结构的数学规划法分步综合热集成的MEN。该方法首先分析了连接两个网络的关键参数,将其离散化处理后组合成多个备选方案,然后对每个备选方案采用分步策略。第一步,用超结构法以总年度费用(TAC)最小为目标综合MEN;第二步,从第一步的结果中抽提出HEN综合所需数据,通过求解基于HEN超结构的非线性规划(NLP)模型,得到优化的HEN总年度费用。加和两步中的TAC结果得到该方案下两个网络的总费用,通过比较所有备选方案下的总网络TAC,以总网络TAC最小的方案为最佳方案。与文献中例子比较,表明本方法具有更好的可行性和有效性。     

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。     

基于全周期节能的有旁路换热网络裕量优化设计

换热网络全周期运行期间,由于设备老化等因素,换热性能逐步下降,能耗逐步提高。而当前工业换热网络的裕量设计并没有有效地解决此问题。因此提出了一种基于有旁路换热网络全周期节能优化的裕量优化设计方法,通过旁路调节,逐步释放有效面积裕量,达到全周期节能的目的。该优化方法以换热网络运行全周期内总累积费用为目标函数,同时考虑结垢热阻对换热器换热效果的影响以及旁路对换热网络的调节作用,在满足工艺条件的基础上求解换热网络的最优裕量,最终实现换热网络的持续节能。最后,以某炼油厂的常减压脱盐前换热网络为具体的研究对象,说明所提方法的有效性和使用前景。     

SePTA—A new numerical tool for simultaneous targeting and design of heat exchanger networks

Pinch Analysis is an established insight-based methodology for design of energy-efficient processes. The Composite Curves (CCs) is a popular Pinch Analysis tool to target the minimum energy requirements. An alternative to the CCs is a numerical technique known as the Problem Table Algorithm (PTA). The PTA however, does not show individual hot and cold streams heat cascades and cannot be used for design of heat exchanger networks (HEN). This paper introduces the Segregated Problem Table Algorithm (SePTA) as a new numerical tool for simultaneous targeting and design of a HEN. SePTA shows profiles of heat cascade across temperature intervals for individual hot and cold streams, and can be used to simultaneously locate pinch points, calculate utility targets and perform SePTA Heat Allocation (SHA). The SHA can be represented on a new SePTA Network Diagram (SND) that graphically shows a heat exchanger network together with the amount of heat exchange on a temperature interval scale. This paper also shows that SePTA and SND can be a vital combination of numerical and graphical visualisation tools for targeting and design of complex HENs involving stream splitting, threshold problems and multiple pinches.

Heat exchanger network area targeting considering stream allocation to shell or tubes

An optimal heat recovery network requires optimum values of area and energy targets. Current heat exchanger network targeting methods do not consider the optimal allocation of each stream to shell or tube side of the exchanger during the network cost estimation. Some researchers pre-set the allocation of the streams ahead of targeting [Polley, G. T., & Panjeh Shahi, M. H. (1991). Interfacing heat exchanger network synthesis and detailed heat exchanger design. Transactions of the Institute of Chemical Engineers, 69(Part A), 445–457]. In real design case however, some practical considerations such as fouling and corrosion constrain the allocation of streams. Apart from those, other streams are allowed to be allocated to either tubes or shell. Appropriate allocation of these streams can considerably affect the network cost estimation. This paper introduces a new area-targeting procedure which utilizes the optimal allocation of streams in all enthalpy intervals. The procedure evaluates two possible options for each stream split passing through each exchanger in the spaghetti network. Thus, two different exchanger area requirements can be estimated and the one with less area requirement will be selected. During this evaluation process, the optimal distribution of each stream pressure drop within enthalpy intervals is fully utilized. The proposed targeting procedure is applied on a case study and comparison of the results with previous method (Polley & Panjeh Shahi, 1991) shows reduction of around 18% in the network area. In another case study, the area–energy trade offs using the new procedure shows a reduction of 12.4% in minimum network area requirement and 14.5% in total annual cost. Therefore, the new procedure can considerably alter the area–energy trade offs.     

基于热损失的换热网络夹点设计法

现行的换热网络目标方法,在进行换热网络价格估算时,未考虑热物流的热损失。在真实的设计中,换热器壳体保温后仍与环境温度相差较大,则其热损失不可忽略。文章提出了一个新的基于热损失的换热网络夹点设计法,该方法首先以综合费用最小为目标确定出最小温差,然后建立问题表格确定出夹点位置及最小公用工程消耗,最后再进行换热网络设计。文中采用某石油常减压换热网络系统为典型算例对该方法的前两步进行了分析研究,论证了该方法的必要性及可行性。结果表明:该方法与基本Linnhoff夹点技术法估算的投资费用有较大的差距之外,在一定的最小温差下,其与基本Linnhoff夹点技术法确定的夹点位置不同,公用工程消耗也有较大的差距。     

Simultaneous MINLP synthesis of heat and power integrated heat exchanger networks

This paper describes the simultaneous MINLP synthesis of heat and power integrated heat exchanger networks. The objective of this work is to obtain feasible networks with optimal tradeoffs between investment, utility and power consumption caused by pressure drops in heat exchangers, and to use a detailed design model for exchangers in the synthesis in order to represent pressure drops and heat transfer coefficients as functions of exchanger design variables. In this way, the simultaneous synthesis of HEN and the detailed exchanger design become completely consistent and optimal.     

基于子网络强制进化的大规模换热网络优化

换热网络优化是典型的混合整数非线性规划（MINLP）问题,此问题的非线性约束以及到处存在的局部极值,使得最优解的获得尤其困难。特别是对于大规模网络来说,当物流数目增加时,可行的结构数目呈指数增长,目前还没有一种有效的算法来解决此类问题。应用改进的混合遗传算法,首先对换热网络进行初始优化,对初步优化结果进行子网络的划分,然后进行基于官能团（子网络）的重组、分解和交叉操作,获得了很好的结果。     

Minimizing investment cost for multi-period heat exchanger network retrofit by matching heat transfer areas with different strategies

Multi-period heat exchanger network (HEN) retrofit is usually performed by targeting and matching heat trans-fer areas. In this paper, based on the reverse order matching method we proposed previously, three strategies of matching heat transfer areas are proposed to minimize the investment cost for the retrofit of HEN in multi-period, in which replacement of heat exchangers, addition of heat exchangers and addition of heat transfer areas are performed. We demonstrate the procedures through three scenarios, including maximum number of substituted heat exchangers after retrofit, minimum additional heat transfer areas in the retrofitted HEN, and minimum investment cost for retrofit. The strategies are extended to a single period HEN retrofit problem. The results of multi-period and single period HEN retrofit problems indicate the effectiveness of the strategies. More-over, these results are better than those reported in literature. The strategies are simple and easy to implement, which are of great benefit to large-scale HEN retrofit in practice.
