This paper provides a critical review of the literature on heat exchanger network synthesis, the most commonly studied problem in process synthesis. After a review of solution methods, we discuss the chronological milestones in the development of the field and present several classification schemes of this body of work based on a number of modeling and algorithmic criteria. We then offer a critical assessment of the current status of research in this area and provide suggestions for future
