Abstract
Heat exchanger processes are disclosed. A heat exchanger process uses a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has a surface positioned to be contacted by a fluid. The heat exchanger process includes contacting the surface with the fluid by transporting the fluid through the heat exchanger and transferring heat between the surface and the fluid. The transporting is at a rate of less than 2 meters per second, the surface includes a fouling-resistant coating, the fluid includes particles known to cause fouling, or a combination thereof.
