In this paper, an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used to optimize the structure dimensions of the plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHEs). The major objectives are to minimize the total weight and total annual cost of the PFHEs for given constrained conditions. The total weight target ensures an exchanger of the smallest size with minimum capital cost, whereas the annual cost target yields the optimum pressure drops accounting for the trade-off between power consumption and heat exchanger weight. The total length and width of the PFHE core, number of hot side layers, fin height, and pitch on each side of the PFHE are considered as optimization variables. The logarithmic mean temperature difference method is used for the design of the PFHE. Also compared with the results obtained by PSO and the traditional genetic algorithm, the PSO algorithm presents a shorter computational time and better results under the same design parameters and the same optimization variables.

The present contribution shows certain practical aspects of selection and design of heat exchangers for industrial applications where polluted flue gas (off-gas) represents one process fluid.One of the key factors in designing heat exchangers for these applications is the primary selection of a suitable type. The presently available possibilities and methodologies of efficient heat exchanging device selection and supporting software do not allow covering all the needs of related industries. A concrete example of an industrial process furnace is used to demonstrate the issues of "compactness and enhancement vs. reliability" for various temperature levels of high temperature applications. Attention is also given to the specific area of fouling of the heat exchanging surfaces by flue gas.In high-temperature applications, it is necessary to pay special attention to all phases of a solution. Heat integration of devices into the plant system and its possibilities are presented. The irreplaceable role of modelling and optimization on the design of heat exchangers and its design details is emphasized which may significantly contribute to final product quality. An important role in high-temperature applications is also played by CFD simulations.
