Numerical Simulation on Fouling of the Steam Cooler in a Power Plant

Abstract:

The fouling in the heat transfer devices of power plants, not only changes the fluid flow state designed, but also counteracts the heat transfer, so the equipment safety and economy are reduced. The adsorption and deposition about fouling is a quite complicated chemical and physical process, and it is difficult to obtain an accurate and reasonable model and its engineering application. Therefore, under some different conditions such as velocity, temperature and concentration of fouling and pipe position, the numerical simulation is obtained in the power plant steam cooler. The temperature inside the pipe is gradually decreased with the velocity. At the same time, the fouling increases in the first half of the exchanger pipe, and easily appears near regions of entrance more and more. The fouling may occurs at the outlet position of the heat exchange tube. Under the same conditions the heat exchange tube near centre line is easier to bring the fouling.
