Fouling factor in heat exchangers
The fouling factor is an oversizing coefficient to evaluate during the design of heat exchangers, in order to ensure thermal transfer efficiency to always be at its best.

Fluid’s mixing in plate heat exchangers
Fluids mixing in plate heat exchangers can only occur if a plate brakes for corrosion or cracking, not due to gaskets breaking, due to double protection and leakage alert they ensure.
Fibreglass in cooling towers
Fibreglass is highly employed by manufacturers of cooling towers, both for components and structural parts, ensuring oxidation and corrosion resistance in constant presence of water.
