With 40 years’ experience as a company, our engineers and sales staff have encountered a wide range of issues on sites. Here are ten of the most common mistakes that can occur as a result of poorly-specified or badly-installed heat exchanger systems – and how you can avoid ...
When operating in exceptionally challenging conditions, or handling difficult materials such as sewage and wastewater sludges, even the best designed heat exchangers will be susceptible to fouling. Understanding the different types of fouling and what causes them will help engineers and operators pick the best type of ...
The deposition of material on heat transfer surfaces is called fouling which significantly impacts on the thermal and mechanical performance of heat exchangers. Fouling increases the overall thermal resistance and lowers the overall heat transfer coefficient of heat ...
This oil fouling arises because the compressor oil builds up on the metallic walls of the refrigeration tubing reducing the heat transfer from the refrigerant to the walls of the refrigerant tubing. Effects on Heat Transfer Oil fouling of the heat transfer surfaces of air conditioning and refrigeration systems ...
An extensive investigation of the effect of fouling on heat exchangers performance has been carried out based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. ...
