  • Fouling reduction device for a tubular heat exchanger
    Patent number: 6782943
    Abstract: A fouling reducing device for the tubes of a tubular heat exchanger of the type that contains at least one turbulence-generating element lodged inside one of the tubes of the exchanger. The fouling reducing device is a turbulence-generating element made of a metallic alloy with a nickel content that is greater than 50% by weight, and further made of at least one metal chosen from among chrome and molybdenum. The turbulence-generating element has an improved resistance to corrosion when in contact with a hydrocarbon, such as crude oil.
