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.
fouling is a major issue, often leading to a decrease in heat transfer efficiency and an increase in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Fouling types can range from particulate, biological, chemical, and composite, each posing unique challenges and requiring varied mitigation strategies.
