Fouling is a process of accumulation of solid waste on a surface. Fouling factor directly correlates with the rate of accumulation. This term is frequently used on thermal applications.

What is difference between scaling and fouling?
Fouling is caused by the collection of loose debris over pump-suction screens in sumps or growth of algae in sunlit areas while Scaling is depositing of dissolved minerals on equipment surfaces
What factor covers up another factor?
dominant factor
What is a control factor in science?
It is a factor that controls an experiment.
What is the MFP factor?
The MFP factor is a special factor found in meat, fish, and poultry that enhances iron absorption.
What is a constant factor in an experiment?
The factor that doesnt change in your experiment
What is SI Unit of fouling factor?
Chm2/kj Refer to Uconeer - Unit Conversion for Engineers, or Hysys, Fouling Factor SI unit for fouling factor is m2K/kW Imperial unit is hr.ft.oF/Btu
What is fouling factor this factor used in heat exchangers?
Fouling factor is essentially used in determining the efficiency of the heat exchangers. Fouling factor is obtained from service (product) on either side of tubes and material of tubes. It basically represents corrosion of heat exchangers tubes which affects efficiency of heat transfer.
What type fouling occurs immediately following an overdue tune-up?
Splash fouling.
What is the definition or description of fouling factor in chiller?
Impurities in the chilled water system eventually deposit on evaporator tube surfaces, impeding heat transfer. Cataloged performance data includes a "fouling factor" that accounts forthis effect to more closely predict actual chiller performance. Research conducted by theAmerican Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE)reveals that the negative effect of fouling on the long-term performance of closed-loop chilled water systems is usually less than 0.00025 h·ft²·F/Btu. ARI Standard 550/ 590-1998 reduces the fouling-factor allowance from that value to the 0.00010h·ft²·F/Btu suggested by the study results.Its Effect... Assessing a smaller fouling factor lets specifying engineers, owners, and manufacturers alike take credit for seemingly better heat transfer. With cataloged performance that more closely matches actual operation, specifying engineers can select chillers with greater precision-and owners purchase no more cooling capacity than they actually need. [The revised evaporator fouling factor has little effect on full-load efficiency, i.e. roughly 2 percent. As noted later,full-load efficiency remains an important criterion in many applications.-Editor]
What is the synonym of polluters?
fouling
Why is ammunition jacketed?

Why is your dirt bike fouling plugs?
I have a kx 250 dirt bike that keeps fouling plugs on start up. I rejetted it but that still didn't solve the problem. What could be the Problem?
Does the bore snake really remove copper fouling completely?
No
How do you spell pulushan?
The correct spelling is pollution (contamination or fouling).
Why shipworms are referred as fouling organism?
A fouling organism is defined as an organism that attaches itself to underwater parts of a boat or structure. Shipworms attach to wood and drill holes in it, damaging the wood.
