Fouling on Various Types of Enhanced Heat Transfer Surfaces

Inorganic fouling of heat transfer surface from potable water during convective heat transfer

“…The increasing resistance to heat flow and the high system pressure drop increase the energy consumption and maintenance cost and lower the durability of the system [5]. Fouling has long been a concern in domestic appliances such as electric boilers, gas boilers, steam irons, washing machines, dishwashers, coffee makers and potable water distribution systems in general.…”
