What is meant by a fouling factor?

What will be an ideal response?


The fouling factor is a quantifying number to describe the degradation or
reduction in effective heat exchange over the heat exchanger area. It typically
reduces the overall conductance of a heat exchanger and left without corrective
measures can seriously reduce a heat exchangers operation.
