During the operation of Heat exchanger network (HEN)
for operating conditions are always varied
the bypass optimal control is considered as an effective method to adjust the temperatures and saving energy. However
locations of bypasses are derived without the verification by the control theory. Therefore
it is very necessary to analysis the structural characteristics of heat exchanger networks. Firstly
based on the topology theory
the structural states configuration and array are presented by using the structural model of the HEN. Then
the HEN structural controllability
the structural control intension and redundancy degree are analyzed. The results indicate that the bypass on downstream is less controllability than that on upstream; structural control intension is affected by the corresponding bypass location; and the using of the coupling channel may affect the redundancy degree and the controllability significantly. The analysis of case study demonstrated this method can be used to testify the controllability of the HEN with bypass optimal control
and significantly reduce the analysis complication on complex structural controllability analysis. This method also indicated a novel idea for applying control theory on engineering process.
