Abstract

Fouling on the recirculating cooling waterside of heat exchangers costs industry millions of dollars in lost opportunity each year. This fouling reduces heat transfer, promotes under-deposit corrosion, increases pumping costs, and disrupts the hydraulic balance in the system. Therefore, the efficient transfer of heat from the process side of a heat exchanger to the cooling media side is critical to cost-effective operation of that process.
