Abstract
Possible mechanisms of gas turbine regenerator fouling are examined and compared with extant experimental evidence. A theoretical model of fouling which encompasses a two-phase process is proposed. It is shown that the controlling mechanism is the condensation of heavy hydrocarbon isomers which form an adhesive coating in which particulate matter subsequently become entrapped. Typical overall heat transfer and pressure drop degradation data are presented which tend to support the proposed model.
