5. Consequences of inappropriate sizing on energy performance
5.1 Consequences of undersizing
There are various consequences of undersizing, or at least of incorrectly phasing an exchanger project as described above, within the framework of a complete installation. Problems can arise from, but are not limited to:
poorly defined specifications;
a poor choice of technology;
selection of an incorrect dimensioning point;
poor sizing itself;
manufacturing or installation defects;
etc.
Depending on the type of problem listed above, the consequences can range from complete failure of the equipment and...
