摘要 |
There is disclosed a novel mobile apparatus and process therefor including a heat transfer test assembly and related conduit and valve assemblies for connection in fluid flow communication to a heat transfer apparatus for in-situ testing and generation of foulant data to permit substantially simultaneous implementation of the antifoulant protocol of the fluid passing therethrough and including monitoring and recording apparatus together with a source of antifoulants for controlled introduction into the fluid. The heat transfer test assembly includes a heating member for controlled heat input and thermocouples to measure the wall temperature of the heating member to permit fouling determinations at varying flow rates with simultaneous monitoring and recording thereof together with data, such as corrosion, pH, conductivity, and the like. The heat transfer test assembly is placed in fluid communication with a source of antifoulants of controlled dosage with concomitant evaluation of efficaciousness of the antifoulant protocol on the fluid.
