Understanding Heat Exchanger Fouling and Its Mitigation: Proceedings of an International Conference on Understanding Heat Exchanger Fouling and Its ... at Il Ciocco Conference Centre castelvecchi

by T.R. Bott

Contains 43 papers from the May 1997 conference that reviewed developments in mitigation techniques. A series of papers dealing with the fundamental mechanisms of heat exchanger fouling set the scene, followed by aspects of design that have a bearing on fouling generally or in particular situations. Deposit formation, mitigation and cleaning in aqueous systems and in the food industry are considered in two separate sections. Chemical reaction fouling with special reference to refinery operations constitutes another section. Monitoring the performance of the mitigation technology, and assessing the data associated with plant performance and maintenance conclude the volume. No index. Annotation c.
