The effect of fluid velocity during heat exchange on scale formation
Thread Content
Increasing the fluid flow rate appropriately makes it less likely for deposits to form and cause scaling in the fluid, but it increases the pressure drop in the heat exchanger； The flow direction of the fluid is continuously changed, causing the fluid to constantly strike the walls of the heat exchange tubes, which prevents various impurities in the fluid from accumulating on those walls ； Choosing corrosion-resistant, smooth materials can also slow down the formation of dirt. In practice, we often determine whether a heat exchanger is fouled by checking the pressure difference. The company does the same thing before each equipment maintenance shutdown as well.
Controlling the quality of circulating water is also very important
It can be replaced with a continuous spiral baffle heat exchanger, which effectively reduces pressure drop, minimizes scaling, and extends the cleaning interval of the heat exchanger.
Yes, controlling water quality is also very important
