Abstract
An experimental study on particulate fouling in an industrial plate he at exchanger has been carried out on a specially adapted test facility on a semi-industrial experimental platform at GRETh. The presented re sults show the evidence of an asymptotic fouling resistance behaviour. The particle size distribution measurements carried out during the te sts have allowed to check the limit of a diffusion controlled particle deposition. A first attempt to account for the influence of the flow maldistribution between the heat exchangers channel has been proposed.
