Monitoring of Important Variables Affecting the Formation of Fouling in Crude Oil Heat Exchangers

Conventional methods for determination and monitoring of the total thermal resistance of fouling are based on computing the overall heat transfer coefficient U over time. Heat exchanger cleaning schedules are developed using historical process data on the periods when the thermal resistance of fouli...
