Energy Efficiency with Pinch Analysis From the fundamentals to the practical application

Greater industrial energy efficiency using pinch analysis.

Overview

The participants understand the fundamentals and application of the pinch method and are able to systematically analyze and optimize industrial processes and their infrastructure systems with the PinCH 3.5 software. (Note: for more complex processes the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts offers the possibility of a coaching project).
