Detailed explanation: Two AES exchangers in series have trouble heating up a process stream from 50ᵒC to 90ᵒC, and cooling down a hot stream with the same flow rate from 110ᵒC to 70ᵒC. Luckily, there is an abandoned AES exchanger available that has four times the surface of the two existing exchangers, and even better, it has the right material and sufficiently high design P & T, and would fit on the plot space occupied by the existing exchangers. Is replacement a good idea?

Heat Exchangers
Heat exchangers are the types of equipment that are primarily employed to transfer the thermal energy from one fluid to another, provided that one of the fluids should be at a higher thermal energy content than the other fluid.
Heat Exchanger
The heat exchanger is a combination of two words ''Heat'' and ''Exchanger''. It is a mechanical device that is used to exchange heat energy between two fluids.
