RP-1705的目标是对风冷式冷凝器热交换器的空气侧污垢有一个新的认识，并开发一种在实验室中真实模拟污垢的方法。过去对空侧污垢的研究主要集中在蒸发器上，或者在实验室试验中使用减少的气流作为冷凝器污垢的替代物，在实验工作中研究污垢对系统性能的影响。当前项目的方法是研究空气侧污垢对现场污染冷凝器的影响，将其从现场移除，并在实验室进行测试。这项工作的第二个目标是基于实际现场污垢的新知识，开发一种实验室方法来测试污垢对新冷凝器的影响。 引文:ASHRAE研究

The goal of RP-1705 was to develop a new understanding of the airside fouling of air-cooled condenser heat exchangers and to develop a method to realistically mimic fouling in a laboratory. Past research on airside fouling has mostly focused on evaporators, or has used reduced airflow in laboratory tests as a proxy for condenser fouling in experimental work to study the effects of fouling on system performance. The current project’s approach was to study the airside fouling effects on field-fouled condensers, by removing them from the field and testing them in the laboratory. A second objective in this work was to build on the new knowledge of actual field fouling to develop a laboratory method to test the effect of fouling on new condensers.
