FOULING IN HEAT EXCHANGERS

Scambio Termico

To help control fouling, operators pay attention to four key processing factors: Fluid velocity Fluid temperature Fluid chemistry Materials of fabrication FLUID VELOCITY In most cases, fouling decreases at higher fluid velocities because increasing flow velocity increases the fluid shear stress , which causes more removal of deposits.
