Aspen heat exchanger network
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: when designing a heat exchange network, is a coal-fired boiler, with the steam generated by it driving a turbine, included within that heat exchange network? Does designing a heat exchange network require taking the boiler and turbine into account? If we consider simplifying it to two heat exchangers, right: handshake
The boiler is considered as a reactor, and there are dedicated modules for the turbine.
Are you referring to Aspen process simulation? I would like to ask whether the simulation of boilers and turbines affects the heat exchange network, or whether this is reflected in the extraction of the overall heat exchange flow. Thank you: handshake
It will have no impact; the properties of the heat exchanger are specified independently of the boiler.
