DH is a relative quantity. Thus, the T-DH line can be shifted horizontally
1/FCp is the slope of the T-DH line:
DH = FCpDT ==> DT/DH = 1/FCp
- smaller FCp: steep or - bigger FCp: flat

•QH used for heating
instead of hot stream
with DHs
• more excess heat
• must add CW

“No Cooling above the

“No Heating below the
pinch”
1. DTmin, which is the smallest approach temperature for heat exchange, limits the amount of heat recovery in a process (i.e. the heat recovery “pinch”).
2. There should be no heat transfer across the pinch. To guarantee this, • do not heat below the pinch (no external heating), or • do not cool above the pinch (external cooling) • do not transfer heat across the pinch (in last example, Q=0)
3. Any external cooling above the pinch, or heating below the pinch
will result in cross-pinch heat transfer, thereby increasing the external utility requirements.

Practical Use of the Composite Curve & Pinch
• Baseline Utility Consumption
• Maximum Heat Recovery
• Guidelines for heat recovery matches
• Avoid forbidden matches (follow 1st and 2nd thermo. Law)
• Implication of forbidden matches
• Diagnose heat recovery inefficiencies
• Guide for favorable process changes
• Guide for CHP and heat pump integration
Assignment – Energy Targeting & Process Diagnosis
a) Construct the process composite curves. b) Use the problem table method to verify your
results in (a). c) Read-off energy targets for ΔTmin = 10oC. d) Identify locations in the plant where these are
possible violations of the pinch rules. e) Through careful inspection of the process, identify
scopes for further heat recovery.
