Regular maintenance of a shell and tube heat exchanger is essential to ensure efficient operation and to avoid the onset of ‘fouling’ – the unwanted accumulation of material on heat transfer surfaces.
Efficiency of a heat exchanger is often compromised by a universal issue: fouling. This accumulation of unwanted material can drastically reduce the heat transfer rate, increase pressure drop, and lead to equipment failure if left unchecked.
Introduction Heat exchangers are a cornerstone of many industrial processes, playing an integral role in energy transfer in various applications. However, they can fall prey to the […]
