Offer Description

WATER project aims at experimentally and theoretically investigating fouling in cooling water heat
exchangers to i) elucidate fouling mechanisms and ii) identify suitable mitigation strategies. Fouling is the
accumulation of unwanted material on heat transfer surfaces. These deposits produce a resistance to the
transfer of heat and increase the pressure drop in the system, reducing the efficiency of the equipment
and increasing the energy requirements for the entire process. The WATER project will build one of the
first experimental rigs to study water fouling inside various heat exchanger types with in-line control of
water composition and collect precise deposition data under controlled conditions.
