Book excerpt: The drive to minimize capital investment and improve the energy efficiency of process industry plants has led to a reassessment of the desirability and practicality of incorporating compact heat exchangers (CHEs) and heat transfer enhancement technology into process plants. This volume collects papers presented at the International Conference on Compact Heat Exchangers for the Process Industries, whose objectives were to exploit the existing forms of the CHEs and enhancement technology with their potential use and benefits, to identify new forms of the CHEs and enhancement technology, and to identify and discuss barriers and critical issues preventing the broader use of CHEs and enhancement technology.
