Re: Calculation of condenser cleaniness factor ???

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.
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.
