Fouling factor and condenser water flow rate

Fouling factor and condenser water flow rate

(OP)
Dear Friends

Is there any relation between Fouling factor and Condenser water flow rate.

RE: Fouling factor and condenser water flow rate

In general high flow rates should decrease the accumulation of crud on the inner tube surface.  I am not aware of a mathematical relationship between flow rate and fouling factor.  Most people simply pick a constant as a worst case fouling factor and oversize the surface area to handle it.
