What Is Fouling in Heat Exchangers?

Introduction

Fouling is a common issue that reduces heat exchanger performance.

What Is Fouling?

Fouling occurs when unwanted deposits build up on heat transfer surfaces.

Common Types

Scaling
Biological fouling
Corrosion deposits

Effects

Reduced heat transfer efficiency
Increased pressure drop
Higher operating costs

Conclusion

Preventing fouling is important for maintaining heat exchanger efficiency.
