    This document provides typical fouling factors for various cooling water conditions and fluid types. Fouling factors are given in m2K/W and indicate the resistance to heat transfer caused by fouling. Lower fouling factors indicate less fouling resistance. The factors vary depending on cooling water temperature and velocity as well as the type of water source and cooled fluid. Fouling is generally lower for seawater, treated boiler feedwater, and distilled water compared to brackish water, river water, and cooling towers without inhibitors. Most oils, gases, and liquids have low fouling factors between 0.00009-0.00035 m2K/W while fluids like hydrogen, amines, and glycols
