 Conclusion
1.Pinch Technology visualizes waste heat
panoramically，qualitatively and quantitatively．

2. Potential of Pinch technology for Energy Conservation

is not less than 500∼１０００M･Liter・crude oil/year．

3. Moreover Pinch technology for Co-production

system may enlarge the Energy Conservation effect．
