Industrial Heat Exchanger –Operation and Maintenance to minimise Fouling and Corrosion
Place: IEMNS Building
Heat exchangers are widely used in industries both for cooling and heating of large scale industrial process fluid. The design of the used heat exchangers can be tailored to suit a process depending on the type of fluid, its phase, temperature, density, viscosity, pressures, chemical composition and various other thermodynamic properties. In the wake of energy crisis efficient heat recovery or dissipation of heat has become a challenge to the Engineers and Scientists.
For efficiency, heat exchangers are designed to maximise the surface area of the wall between the two fluids, while minimising resistance to fluid flow through the exchanger. The exchanger’s performance can also be affected by the addition of fins or corrugations in one or both directions, which increase surface area and may channel fluid flow or induce turbulance. Online monitoring of industrial heat exchangers is done by tracking the overall heat transfer coefficient, from its flowrates and temperatures, that tends to decline over time due to fouling.
Maintenance of turbular heat exchangers can be performed by several methods such as acid cleaning, sandblasting, high-pressure water jet, bullet cleaning, or drill rods. In large-scale cooling water systems for heat exchangers, water treatment such as purification, addition of chemicals, and testing, is used to minimise fouling of the heat exchanger equipment. Other water treatment is also used in steam systems for power plants etc to minimise fouling and corrosion of the heat exchanger and other equipment.
