HX-Net®软件主要应用于换热器管网的设计和优化项目中,并以完整、交互式的环境中提供重要的工程建议。由于 HX-Net®具有强大的综合性的工艺模拟器和其简单易用的能量分析功能,使得工艺工程师能够迅速的在现有的工艺流程中找到提高能量效率的潜在点。软件功能•数据提取向导技术-可以自动从流程模拟器中提取温度,热函,流量等相关数据。•目标技术- 可以为给定的工艺流程找到最大的能量效率操作。•自动改进技术-可以自动的找出实现最大能量效率操作的最好的方法-使设备能够得到控制。•自动设计-可以为新的或现有的工艺流程建立一套新的能量效率热交换器管网。效益节能方案的研究为新设计或项目改造而实施的节能方案的研究 — 其效益都是要量化的。许多公司在对工艺流程设备改造项目中超过投资极限而指定了强制的节能方案研究,以保证能量的业务开支和资本成本的花费能达到平衡并实现最小化。通过改进生产力,改造项目与能量相关的操作费用可能节省+$100,000 还有额外的收益(我们即可以通过给出设备尺寸计算也可以给出估计节省的百分比进行计算)。改善生产冲突在过去,热能联合项目被看作是专业领域。由于高效自动化以及交互式软件的引入.这个领域已经发生了改变,现在工艺工程师通过热能联合流程而不再需要很专业的知识就可以进行计算分析。交互式的、完善的软件环境帮助工程师了解(推定)所有的节约能量的方法,而且还可以考虑设备的限制以及全厂的优化。
HX-Net大大简化了先前需要手工操作的步骤。1. 加工数据可以从HYSYS模拟模型提取。2. 热交换器网络改造工程自动识别。3. 全面和有意义的结果显示,包括选项的比较。
Aspen HX-Net
A powerful, conceptual design package for performing optimal heat exchanger network design
The competitiveness of today’s markets and the focus on energy efficiency requires improved heat-integrated process designs. Aspen HX-Net⎯working in concert with flowsheet simulators like Aspen HYSYS® and Aspen Plus®⎯provides an easy environment to perform optimal heat exchanger network design and pinch analysis. Aspen HX-Net is a core element of AspenTech’s aspenONE™ Process Engineering applications.
Features
Calculates targets for energy and capital investment
Enables the development of improved heat integration projects, significantly reducing operating, capital, and design costs, and minimizing energy-related emissions
Provides tools for performing process optimization
Provides both graphical and algorithmic methods
Benefits
With the large number of design alternatives available, it is likely that a seemingly obvious solution obtained by inspection may be far from optimal. The task of developing an optimal heat-integrated design (based on capital and operating cost) can be complex. The solution then is to identify the best options without spending prohibitive amounts of resources to do so. Aspen HX-Net helps maximize the reuse of heating and cooling duties within the system, with an optimal heat exchanger network. The duties that are not satisfied by heat recovery then require external utilities. This approach minimizes the external utility requirements, conserving energy and capital at a lower environmental impact.
