“…Therefore, fouling formation is a common problem encountered in heat exchangers. The main concern with fouling is that it reduces heat transfer efficiency, affecting device life and production [1][2][3]. The increasing cost of energy and the decline in fossil fuels have intensified the emphasis on enhancing energy conversion efficiency.…”

In this study, the influence of an axial-electromagnetic field treatment device (AEFTD) with a solenoid structure using different electromagnetic frequencies on calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystallization fouling on the tube side of a shell-and-tube heat exchanger was investigated. The experimental results indicated that the application of the AEFTD could effectively reduce fouling resistance and decelerate the growth rate of CaCO3 fouling. The opposite trend between fouling resistance and the outlet temperature of an experimental fluid indicated that the application of the AEFTD could enhance heat transfer. Meanwhile, the crystal morphologies of the fouling samples were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The axial-electromagnetic field favored the formation of vaterite as opposed to calcite. Non-adhesive vaterite did not easily aggregate into clusters and was suspended in bulk to form muddy fouling that could be carried away by turbulent flow. Furthermore, the anti-fouling mechanism of the axial-electromagnetic field is discussed in detail. The anti-fouling effect of the AEFTD on CaCO3 fouling exhibited extreme characteristics in this study. Therefore, the effectiveness of the AEFTD is contingent upon the selection of the electromagnetic parameters.

Scale accumulation is a serious problem in several industrial fields. Although a series of surface coatings are developed for anti‐scaling, they generally suffer from limited anti‐scaling capability and longevity. Herein, a light‐responsive liquid‐like coating is prepared by constructing a metal–organic framework (MOF) functionalized with poly‐spiropyran (PSP) and further grafting it with linear polydimethylsiloxane (LPDMS), which enables high‐performance anti‐scaling. The prepared MOF/PSP/LPDMS (MPL) coating integrates multiple strategies to synergistically suppress scale formation. It utilizes the PSP component to delay scaling by adsorbing salt ions and the liquid‐like LPDMS component to inhibit scale nucleation through reducing the scale‐substrate affinity interaction. The MOF skeleton isolates PSP components to prevent unfavorable aggregation, which helps to maintain high ion‐adsorption capacity upon exposure to ultraviolet or darkness. Additionally, the coating allows rapid release of adsorbed ions upon exposure to visible light, enabling the recovery of adsorption sites. Consequently, the MPL coating exhibits highly effective and sustainable anti‐scaling capability. Scale buildup of only 0.41 mg cm−2 for CaCO3 and 0.69 mg cm−2 for CaSO4 is achieved on the MPL coating after 14 days’ scaling test, which is far superior to previously‐reported anti‐scaling surfaces. This work paves the way for designing light‐responsive liquid‐like coatings for sustainable scale resistance.
