Objectives
Overal Objective (5). Demonstration of applicability and economicenvironmental benefit of novel heat-transfer enhancement techniques and the
new design methods proposed
 Implementation of the technologies and design tools developed in the
WPs 1-4 at industrial–scale production site in the process industries
 Enabling the real-life validation and demonstration of the project
findings, know-how, and inventions
 Realistic quantification of techno-enviro-economic benefits, compared to
conventional heat exchangers
 Gaining valuable feedback for enhancing practicality of technologies
developed from the projects
Description of work and role of partners
(Leader: PIL; Collaborators: UNIMAN, UNIBATH, UNIPAN, CALGAVIN,
SODRU, MAKATEC, OIKOS, EMBAFFLE)
Task 5.1 Demonstration and application of spiral plastic heat exchanger
Makatec will apply the new heat exchanger design for cooling of strong acids
like sulphuric or hydrochloric acid. Beside the optimised design of the spiral
structure and spacers suitable polymer materials have to be identified for this
application (MAKATEC, UPB). If possible, a demonstration in the temperature
range above 100 oC will be erected (MAKATEC), leading to the requirement
of advanced polymer materials with higher temperature resistance compared
to Polyolefins.
Task 5.2. Demonstration and application of intensified heat exchangers
to oil/petrochemical industries (UNIMAN, UNIPAN, EMBAFFLE,
CALGAVIN)

Possible values :RTD, DEM, OTHER, MGT, COORD, SUPP
Novel tube inserts (CALGAVIN) and enhanced baffle design (EMBAFFLE)
which facilitates the intensified heat transfer for heat exchangers will be
systematically assessed by UNIMAN in terms of their industrial applicability,
by carrying out a case study based on energy recovery systems of crude oil
pre-train. Optimisation frameworks developed from WP4 will be applied to
identify the most appropriate location for adding these intensified elements
into existing heat exchanger networks and to evaluate the impacts on the
energy recovery of whole systems, which ensures the minimum capital
expenditure with maximum energy savings. These demonstration activities
will be carried out by CALGAVIN and SODRU with the following subtasks:
• Data collection and setting up base case
• Heat recovery systems modelling
• Perform targeting study with heat integration methods to identify maximum
potentials for energy savings
• Network pinch to assess the bottleneck for further energy recovery
• Application of optimization method, with full appreciation of intensified heat
transfer equipment and rigorous consideration of fouling
• Operational analysis to understand the impacts of upgraded heat recovery
networks
• Validation of practicability of the improved methods in oil/petrochemical
sectors
• Demonstration of the benefits of the improved methods in terms of energy
and emissions savings
Testing and demonstration activity will be carried out at HTRI Heat Transfer
Research Inc., where EMBAFFLE’s intensified heat exchangers and those
heat exchangers with hiTRAN thermal system of CALGAVIN in the tube-side
will be tested. Accurate measurements will be made for obtaining information
on heat transfer coefficients and thermal resistance under heat-transferintensified environment. The demonstration can be further developed to
include other optimised dual enhanced heat exchangers under current
INTHEAT project.
Task 5.3. Demonstration and application of intensified heat exchangers
to food industries (UNIMAN, OIKOS, EMBAFFLE, CALGAVIN)
Advanced heat exchanger equipment and its retrofit strategies will be verified
in case study from food industries. Optimisation frameworks developed from
WP4 and novel technologies identified from WPs 2 and 3 by UNIMAN,
UNIPAN will be simultaneously considered for revamping study which enables
the cost-effective use of these intensified elements in the context of heat
recovery networks, and to maximise the synergy by integrating existing
networks with novel intensified heat exchangers. This demonstration activities
will be carried out by OIKOS and UNIMAN with the following subtasks:
• Data collection and setting up base case
• Heat recovery systems modelling
• Perform targeting study with heat integration methods to identify maximum
potentials for energy savings
• Network pinch to assess the bottleneck for further energy recovery
• Application of optimization method, with full appreciation of intensified heat
transfer equipment and rigorous consideration of fouling
• Operational analysis to understand the impacts of upgraded heat recovery
networks
• Validation of practicability of the improved methods in food industries
• Demonstration of the benefits of the improved methods in terms of energy
and emissions savings
The demonstration will take place at Perutnina Ptuj Group (www.perutnina.si)
is poultry producing company. A big heat exchanger network is operated by
the company and it will be analysed in terms of application of enhanced heat
transfer solutions. The company will provide the data for such an analysis the
feedback.
Perutnina Ptuj Group comprises of 18 companies and considerable
modernisation is being carried out throughout them to comply with strict
environmental legislation and to achieve better energy and material saving
performance.
- Data collection and analysis at a rendering plant in Perutnina Ptuj d.d.
(Zagrebška 110, 2250 Ptuj, Slovenia) will be carried out on the basis of the
INTHEAT toolbox developed to provide better performance both regarding
heating and cooling energy.
- Brand new heat exchangers are going to be installed in the company’s
biogas plant PP Energija d.o.o. (Potrčeva c. 10 2250 Ptuj) located 4-5 km
away from Perutnina Ptuj production facilities and the project outputs will be
beneficial for the decisions to be made on the technologies applied.
- Data on existing heat exchanger network in production line in
slaughterhouse in Ptuj (Zagrebška 110, 2250 Ptuj, Slovenia) will be collected
and analysed. INTHEAT tool will applied to the development of the retrofit
options for that facility.
