Abstract

This paper describes an improving cooling system in the composite plant. In order to save the energy, a plate-and-frame heat exchanger has been used to replace the traditional worm cooler. The composite plant in Thailand was studied as an illustrative case study. The experimental results demonstrating the saving in energy costs and some economic benefits of the proposed technique are obtained.
