Energy saving based on upgrading cooling system in composite plant

This paper presents an upgrading cooling system to minimize the energy costs based on the energy saving. The proposed technique uses a plate-and-frame heat exchanger to replace the traditional worm cooler. The performances of the proposed upgrading were observed using a cooling system of the composite plant in Thailand as an illustrative case study. The experimental results demonstrating the saving in energy costs and some economic benefits of the proposed technique are included.
