What is Understanding Fouling Factors in Heat Exchangers about?

Fouling is the buildup of sediments and debris on heat exchangers that reduces heat transfer over time. Proper design can minimize the effects of fouling by accounting for the fouling factor, which represents the expected fouling for a given fluid. While increasing surface area can allow heat exchangers to operate efficiently longer, specifying too high a fouling factor can paradoxically promote fouling by enabling lower fluid velocities. Maintaining high, uniform velocities throughout operation is key to p
