Environmental Aspects
Energy conservation and environmental
considerations are the driving forces behind
changes aimed at reducing both chemical and
thermal waste.
More efficient use of energy and raw materials
Recovery of heats of reaction
High intensity mixing, enhancing process
selectivity
Minimum risk of runaway reactions
Smaller and cheaper plant
Ability to handle high-pressure reactions
Conclusion
Compact heat exchangers are available in a
wide variety of configurations to suit most
processes heat transfer requirements.
The advantages of CHEs, and associated heat
transfer enhancement techniques, extend far
beyond energy efficiency.
Lower capital cost, reduced plant size, and
increased safety are typical of the benefits
arising from the use of CHEs.
Compact heat exchangers can replace some
normal size heat exchangers bringing
advantages and performance.
Conclusion
This research took a lot of time, since the
specific details of a theme like this take
time to search.
Even though it took time, I really enjoyed
making this presentation.
