I have tried searching around a bit for this, without much luck. The closest thing I have found is a fouling factor of 0.00035 for compressed air. Even the Carrier Handbook of Air Conditioning System Design didn't mention air-side fouling factors.

Dear Sir, Thanks for your kind information. ARI standards may give latest value. The value given by you is also very much useful. Thanks.
