Evaluation of Probability Errors in Condition Monitoring of Heat-Exchange Equipment

Abstract

This paper focuses on problems of selecting and defining boundary values for criteria in condition assessment of diesel hydrotreating process units’ heat-exchange equipment. The objective of this paper is to define critical parameters of heat exchangers operation. Substantiation of the selected condition assessment criterion is presented. The value of the proposed criterion was calculated using statistical data relevant to the condition assessment of heat-exchange equipment and probabilistic-statistical methods of decision making.
