Master’s Programme in Sustainable Energy Systems

Heat and Power Technology Heat and Power Technology

Main theme: Rational use of energy in industrial energy systems

Focus on Economy, Efficiency, Environment Emphasis on Process Integration & System perspective

Industrial Energy Systems

Heat and Power Technology Heat and Power Technology

This course provides method and tools for: • Energy efficiency analysis

–What are the minimum heating and cooling demands for a process plant? Pinch Analysis

• Design and retrofit of process utility and heat recovery systems –Heat exchanger networks –Process integration of heat pumps, cogeneration and

energy-intensive unit operations (e.g. evaporator trains) • Carbon footprint management

–Identification of cost-effective utility mix to meet process heat demand under given carbon emission constraints

Heat and Power Technology Heat and Power Technology

Approach: 15*2h lectures, 13*4h hands-on exercise projects, 1*4h Industrial Laboratory • Project 1: pinch analysis, cost targeting and design of a heat exchanger

network for energy recovery and effluent cooling at a TMP (Thermo Mechanical Pulp) plant (2*4h)

• Project 2: split GCC analysis for integration of thermal separation processes and gas turbine CHP (1*4h)

• Project 3: split GCC analysis for integration of MVR heat pumps, including economic performance (1*4h)

• Project 4: pinch analysis and retrofit of a pulp mill dryer plant (2*4h) • Project 5: investigation of HEN retrofit options using the matrix method

(1*4h) • Project 6: Assessing heat production investment options in an industrial

process energy system considering possible future increased costs associated with CO2 emissions (2*4h)

Dedicated compendium Kemp under consideration

Major challenges

• 100+ students • Mixed backgrounds

• ChemE ↔ MechE • Chalmers ↔ EU ↔ ROW

• PPT boredom. How to avoid it? • No fancy math? Much of the

complexity is in making choices, establishing system boundaries, reading graphical insights?

• Builds on ability to switch between different perspectives. What is a HP? How does it work? How do we represent it in a GCC?
