The Practical Guide to Heat Exchanger Fouling, Cleaning, and Performance
This white paper explores how heat exchanger design directly impacts fouling behaviour, cleaning effectiveness, and overall performance. It compares common exchanger types, cleaning methods, and maintenance strategies, highlighting the importance of aligning cleaning and inspection approaches with equipment design. By focusing on design-aware maintenance, the paper helps operators improve efficiency, extend asset life, and make more informed decisions to reduce energy loss and operational risk.
