Is anyone aware of any quantitative studies showing the effects of regular tube cleaning on the tube side fouling factor? I would like to increase the plugging limit on a heat exchanger from 5% to 10% by reducing the design fouling factor. The heat exhanger uses treated river water on the tube...
I am looking for someone who has the 1968 edition of B16.5 to let me know what requirements were included, if any, for valve closure or valve seat leakage hydrostatic testing. Would really appreciate a FAX of the applicable page(s). FAX is 205-992-5002. Thanks in advance.
