Abstract
ABSTRACTA laboratory‐scale double tube heat exchanger was developed to study fouling phenomena of biological fluids. The test fluid is continuously circulated through the system exposing the solution to an electrically‐heated stainless steel section. The stainless steel section is 0.635 cm (0.25 in.) diameter and is located on the center‐axis of 2.54 cm (1 in.) diameter glass‐pipe. The heat transfer characteristics of the system were determined and egg albumin solution was used to test the applicability of the system for studying fouling. The system was found to be stable and reproducible. The system can be used to study the effects of operational variables (such as surface temperature, velocity and fluid temperature) and fluid characteristics on fouling rates. The test surface can be easily interchanged to study surface characteristics also.
