It isn't. It is estimated over time based upon local conditions and experience.

The condenser cleaniness and fouling factor (CC&FF) is the ratio of fouling to cleanliness FtC) as a function of feedstock TDS and TFS, over the Reynolds Factor (RF), factored in at a rate of 14:1, or so,depending on turbidity(T), times the temperature and pressure (T&P) as well as rate of flow (ROF) at that point. As it were.(AIW)

Surly you know that there are other factors involved, but that's not important.

How's your vector?

Dear Mr.lyn

You have referred in your reply "Reynolds Factor (RF)"

I am aware of RYTZNER FACTOR for FOULING/SCALING and I am not aware of "Reynolds Factor (RF)" Kindly inform more details of it.

Thanks,

DHAYANANDHAN.S

I was being somewhat facetious.

I was referring Reynolds number, not factor.

Sorry, if the "humor" was not obvious.

Cultural diversity/misunderstanding is unavoidable on a global forum.

Dear Mr.gaurav sharma,

Mr.lyn ( Vide Post No.2) has correctly and precisely pointed out/answered.

I want to supplement to his point. The FOULING FACTOR is an IMPORTANT aspect in the condenser. The Rytzner Factor is the guiding criterion for scaling tendency/fouling. I shall post more details with examples, to-morrow.

In the meantime pl. refer here 1. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=SCALING+and+FOULING+FACTOR+in+condensersor
