The Fouling Characteristics of Plate Heat Exchangers with Geometric and Operating Parameters

Fouling in Heat Exchangers

Fouling of Heat Exchangers by Dairy Liquids

Analysis of Fouling in HVAC Heat Exchangers by CFD

The purpose of this study is to identify parameters influence on the particle deposition within fin and tube heat exchanger of air-conditioning systems by CFD analysis. First the basic sketch of periodic geometry drawn and meshing operation including boundary conditions was performed. Then the gas side properties and flow parameters were solved by ANSYS Fluent 14.5 software. Lagrangian equa...

Fouling of Heat Exchangers in the Dairy Industry

J. Visser Th. J. M. Jeurnink NIZO, 6710 BA Ede, Netherlands N A general overview is given of the main factors in the fouling of processing equipment used for heating dairy fluids. The data collected indicate that the primary step in fouling is the adsorption of a monolayer of proteins onto the wall of the heating equipment at room temperature. Real fouling (i.e., the formation of macroscopic la...

The Characteristics of Brazed Plate Heat Exchangers with Different Chevron Angles

Plate heat exchangers (PHEs) were introduced in the 1930s and were almost exclusively used as liquid/liquid heat exchangers in the food industries because of their ease of cleaning. Over the years, the development of the PHE has generally continued towards larger capacity, as well as higher working temperature and pressure. Recently, a gasket sealing was replaced by a brazed material, and each ...
