Abstract:This study presents an innovative crude oil heating technology by introducing environmentally friendly solar energy into the petroleum industry. By integrating novel combination methods into traditional crude oil heating systems, a versatile and efficient crude oil heating system has been formed. The system was implemented in a refinery and its thermodynamic and economic performance was analyzed. The thermodynamic analysis, employing the exergy analysis method, reveals that among the considered parameters, com… Show more
