Determination of crude oil fouling thresholds
| Description | The principal success from Bath's input to the research programme was to find a method (the equivalent velocity concept) that could use fouling models obtained using round bare tubes for much more complicated geometries in which the heat transfer surface was enhanced, and therebv to obtain a method by which fouling thresholds could be obtained for intensified heat transfer equipment and networks. The research led to a successful application for European Commission project FP7-SME-2010-1-262205-INTHEAT in which the numbers of universities and SME companies was expanded significantly. |
| Exploitation Route | The equivalent velocity concept will be of particular value to designers and operators of heat exchange equipment where modifications are being made to improve or enhance heat transfer. The concept can be applied to situations in which there is fouling as well as to situations in which fouling does not arise. |
