Abstract (2. Language):
The reason of applying heat exchanger is optimizing
the usage of heat energy. There are many thermal, pressure and
flow limitation for designing heat exchanger. Corrosion,
fouling and viscosity have important effect upon designing
factors. The plate heat exchanger (PHE) is the most usable type
of exchangers. In south pars gas complex (SPGC) we apply
this type of exchanger for corrosive liquid such as sour amine
(MDEA). Process parameters such as flow velocity, heat flux,
and particle concentration were varied over a considerable
range. After some years of operation, fouling can happen on
the heat transfer surface of the PHE thereby lowering the heat
transfer efficiency and increasing the pressure drop. In this
paper, we will describe which actions should be estimated to
increase the life of plate heat exchanger and having maximums
efficiency and investigate fouling effect on plate heat
exchanger with a practical experience in gas sweetening unit.
