there are a mass of coupled temperatures. If these states cannot be controlled and observed
it will go against saving energy and safety in production.To implement control system
placing the temperature measuring points in the HEN properly is the basis.Generally
too many thermocouples are set by experience to ensure all states of the HEN are observable.But it is not cost-efficient and lack of verification by the control theory.Therefore
it is necessary to develop a method to design temperature measuring points of HEN based on the control theory. An optimal design method of temperature measuring points with all states observable was proposed by using structural observability and analysis of the impact of bypasses.The design could maintain all of states observable and minimize the number of temperature measuring points with the trade-off between observability and capital investment.With measuring points determined
the regulatory control system was proposed based on the relative gain array analysis.Consequently
a case study with HEN in a crude distillation unit demonstrated the effectiveness of the method proposed.
