Abstract
Crystallization fouling of calcium sulfate was investigated in a plate and frame heat exchanger. The effects of flow velocity, wall temperat ure, and CaSO4 concentration on the fouling rates have been investigat ed and the distribution of scale along the heat transfer surface has b een observed. The measured fouling curves are compared with prediction s from a surface reaction controlled model.
