Patent number: 11879687Abstract: Provided is a method of designing a heat exchanger group being installed in a processing plant and having multiple ACHEs. In a first step, at least one design variable relating to ACHE design and the number of installed ACHEs are set as variable parameters, and a variable range and a change unit of each of the variable parameters are set. In a second step, a design value of the ACHE, which includes a value of a design variable non-selected as the variable parameter, is set. In a third step, Pareto solutions for at least two objective functions selected from an objective function group consisting of an installation length of the heat exchanger group, a total heat transfer area of heat transfer tubes, and total power consumption of fans are calculated by using a computer while the variable parameter are changed.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2019Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: JGC CORPORATIONInventors: Satoru Kanazawa, Masaki Ikeda, Toshikazu Miyashita

Publication number: 20230058589Abstract: For device groups (3) each including devices (31) included in a processing plant (1) processing fluid and each having an occupied area (30) set therefor, connection information representing two specific device groups (3) are connected and paired via a pipe (4) and pipe information required for calculating use amount of a pipe material are set. Then, a first step, including arranging the device groups (3) in an installation area (10) of the processing plant (1) so that an outer edge of the occupied area (30) and a long side of a pipe-rack arrangement area (20) contact with each other, and a second step, including calculating a total use amount of the pipe material of the pipe (4) supported by a pipe rack (21, 22, 23), are repeated. From results obtained by changing the arrangement of the device groups (3), arrangements having small total use amounts of pipe materials are selected.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 9, 2020Publication date: February 23, 2023Applicant: JGC CORPORATIONInventors: Toshikazu MIYASHITA, Hiromichi SAKIYAMA, Shigeru AKIYAMA, Akihiro KATO, Satoru KANAZAWA, Kenji MOURI, Yoshinori YAMADA
