Hx Fouling Factors: sea_water to tubular__fuel_oil__water
Heat exchanger fouling factors (fouling resistance) for various fluid services — single-fluid TEMA values plus combined (total dirt) fouling resistance for common shell-and-tube service pairs from Perry's CEH Table 11-3
| service id | fluid service | fouling factor combined hhf (h·ft2·°F/Btu) | fouling factor max m2k w (m2K/W) | fouling factor min m2k w (m2K/W) | hx type | shell side | standard | tube side |
