The methodology for the synthesis of heat exchanger networks links with power generating systems is applied to the synthesis of MSF systems. As a result, the structural variable is analized through thermodynamic concepts, an approach that has not been considered in most published papers in the area.

IMPROVED hWi.TISTAGE FI.ASH(MSI') I'ROCWFS Multistage flash (MSF) evaporation may produce ten pounds of water per pound of swam -the so-called "gain ratio". Se\craI MSF units in a multi-ct%ct series g&c t\sicc this gnin ratio, at I.tr_ge increase in pfnnt cost. Variations in MSF described increase the gain ratio substantially \xithout increase -or \ith an actual decrease -of plant cost. First_ the prime or brine heater. if used also as an evaporator to suppIy \ilpors to a h~~lf-st~~ge ztbove the NO-1 stag on the condensing-cooling side. may save 4 to 25"; of the heat required depending on the number of stages. Over 6 million gallons of x\ater per day without additionid heat cost thus may be obtained in one lar_ge plant, now bcin g engineered, and lvithout increasing plant cost per unit of product.
