    This document summarizes the design parameters for a heat exchanger including the inlet and outlet temperatures, mass flow rates, heat transfer rates, and log mean temperature differences (LMTD) for both the boiler feedwater (BFW) and process streams. It indicates that the current heat exchanger design (Ud) is 383 kcal/hr-m2-C but experiencing fouling at 1.1 times that rate. Several alternative designs are proposed including varying the BFW outlet temperature to match the design Ud, setting the gas outlet to 140C or 130C, or maximizing gas cooling down to 125.1C which requires increasing the heat exchanger area.
