Paper presented to the 10th International Conference on Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics, Florida, 14-16 July 2014.
Fouling in heat exchange equipment is a common problem unsolved in many industries, and is also an important bottleneck that restricts the production. Among the existing technologies of solving the problem of preventing fouling and heat-transfer enhancement, the fluidized bed preventing - fouling and heat-transfer enhancement technology is an effective method with broad application prospects, which can online prevent fouling and enhance heat transfer in heat exchange equipment such as evaporator, preheater, condenser, cooler, reboiler, industrial boiler, gravity heat pipe, and so on. In this paper, the principle and characteristics of this technology are briefly introduced, and some industrial application achievements of the technology are also presented.
