Scale Removal from Heat-Exchangers - Using Energy-Utilization as a Schedule Criterion
A function which shows explicitly the utilization of energy over time is provided. Using this function and a specified level of energy utilization, a schedule for scale removal is deduced. The methodology is applied to obtain a schedule for a brine heat-exchanger in a desalination plant.
