4. Heat exchangers and energy performance: good sizing practices
In addition to the choice of technology, once the type of heat exchanger has been selected in the most suitable way possible, a concrete response is needed to improve the energy efficiency of processes using heat exchangers, through their correct sizing.
As a reminder (§ 2 ), exchanger sizing mainly consists in calculating the exchange surface required, and the...
