Load Optimization of Heat Exchanger Cascades

摘要

Central heat transfer networks (CHTN) are popular in the Central and Eastern Europe. For instance, there are more than 700 CHTNs in the Czech Republic [1]. CHTNs are used to provide the consumers with heat energy in the form of hot water or steam. The consumers use heat exchanger stations (HES) to transform this energy into hot water for heating or hot water.
