Assessing the Surface Contamination of Finned Pipes in Air-Cooling Systems

  • Published:
Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Existing methods for the cleaning of finned bimetallic pipes in air-cooling systems and methods of monitoring the surface contamination of aluminum alloys are analyzed, so as to identify their deficiencies. A method is developed for fast assessment of the contamination of a finned surface.
