Abstract The problem of the optimal synthesis of heat exchanger systems is treated here with an entirely new approach. It is formulated, using the heat spectrum diagram, as a problem of finding the combination of heat donors and receivers that will minimize a given criterion function. This function is the cost of the heat exchanger system, assumed to be proportional to the total heat-transfer area. The problem is a combinatorial problem for continuous elements. It is solved in general by applying the maximum principle of Pontryagin. The solution for a specific problem is shown to be obtainable by a simple graphical operation.
