Preserving heat in the hydrocracked stream avoids having to reheat the hydrocracked stream before product fractionation. Particularly, kerosene in the hydrocracked stream is not cooled with the hydroisomerized stream and then reheated in fractionation to distill the kerosene range hydrocarbons from the diesel range hydrocarbons.
