Abstract

AbstractThe design of heat exchangers which resist fouling is examined. It is shown that for asymptotic reaction fouling in a uniform wall temperature exchanger with outlet fluid temperature kept constant, it is possible to obtain an optimum combination of exchanger size and tube‐side temperature. This optimum minimises the amount of fouling in the system. An equation which gives a good approximation to the optimum is derived, and its limitations discussed.
