APPARATUSES AND SYSTEMS FOR MONITORING FOULING OF AQUEOUS SYSTEMS INCLUDING ENHANCED HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES

摘要

Heat transfer test assemblies for monitoring and recording fouling of aqueoussystems are disclosed. The heat transfer test assemblies include an outer tubemember, a heating rod positioned within the outer tube member, a ribbed tubesleeve fitted over the heating rod and thermocouples for sensing the walltemperature of heating rod. The disclosed heat transfer test assemblies enableimproved monitoring of systems employing enhanced heat exchanger tubes.Monitoring and recording apparatuses including the heat transfer testassemblies are also disclosed.
