Abstract
A facility has been built to compare the fouling propensity of two heat exchangers operating with cooling water from an open cooling tower. Tests were carried out with a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger and a heat exchanger having tube dimensions representative of a typical industrial shell-and-tube unit. The results of the tests showed that a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger can operate satisfactorily with cooling water providing that the chemical treatment and filtration of the water is adequate. Facilities to permit backwash of the heat exchanger should also be incorporated in any practical application of a Printed Circuit Heat Exchanger with cooling water. (Author)
