This unique and comprehensive text considers all aspects of heat
exchanger fouling from the basic science of how surfaces become
fouled to very practical ways of mitigating the problem and from
mathematical modelling of different fouling mechanisms to practical
methods of heat exchanger cleaning. The problems that restrict the
efficient operation of equipment are described and the costs, some
of them hidden costs, that are associated with the fouling of heat
exchangers are discussed. Some simple concepts and models of the
fouling processes are presented as part of the introduction to the
subject.
Advice on the selection, design, installation and commissioning
of heat exchangers to minimise fouling is given. A large part of
the text is devoted to the use of chemical and other additives to
reduce or eliminate the problem of fouling. Another large section
is designed to give information on both on-line and off-line
cleaning of heat exchangers. One of the difficulties faced by
designers and operators of heat exchangers is anticipating the
likely extent of fouling problems to be encountered with different
flow streams. Another large section addresses the question and
describes methods that have been used in attempting to define
fouling potential. The book concludes with a chapter on how fouling
information can be obtained using plant data, field tests and
laboratory studies.
