In a refinery accurately extracting data of heat exchanger network has intimate influence on the scheme of heat integration and the performance of optimal operation.For data reconciliation of nonlinear state parameters of a heat exchanger,a lumped parameter heat transfer model,which featured partitioning the heat exchanger with piecewise linear sub-models,was proposed to overcome the difficulty of nonlinear state space equations induced by nonlinear change of stream properties in the heat exchanger.A set of state space equations on the basis of piecewise linear Kalman filtering was established.A method of data reconciliation for nonlinear state parameters of heat exchangers was proposed.The procedure of the proposed approach and its behavior were exemplified by data reconciliation for a high pressure heat exchanger in a wax oil hydrotreating unit.The results showed that the convergence of the proposed model was strongly dependent upon the number of partitioning segments for a heat exchanger.The state parameters of heat exchanger tended to be convergent to a constant as the number of partitioning segments increased.And the number of partitioning segments should be determined by trial-and-error according to requirements of computational precision in practice.When the inlet temperature of heat exchanger was measured, the outlet temperature could be rectified using the proposed method.And data reconciliation on the inlet and outlet temperatures of the heat exchanger could be performed iteratively.The proposed method could be effectively used for data reconciliation of nonlinear state parameters of heat exchangers.The proposed approach had higher accuracy for data reconciliation of a larger difference between inlet and outlet temperatures or dramatic changes of physical properties of streams in heat exchangers.
