MODELS OF FOULING’S FORMATION ON THE HEATING SURFACES AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR PLATE HEAT EXCHANGERS

The main fouling factors on heat transfer surfaces are presented. Models are tested that control the process of formation and accumulation of pollution, which provokes the development of thermal resistance of the pollution layer and pressure loss by reducing the cross section of the channel. The models of the development of pollution over time on intensified heat-exchange surfaces and their use for mathematical modeling of the pollution process in PHE are analyzed, taking into account changes in local parameters, which will increase the accuracy of calculating the effect of pollution on the intensity of the heat transfer process.
