Purpose

Transfer the required heat duty between process streams considering fouling and pressure-drop limits.

Arrangement and integration

Equipment functional diagram

The diagram identifies the principal process duties, equipment connections and product handover points. Final scope, redundancy and battery limits are established from project data.

The process media are separated by the heat-transfer surface. Flow arrangement is established by thermal design.

Engineering basis

Design parameters

Final ratings, materials and supply scope are established from project-specific operating data.
