Talk:Fouling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Limited scope
There are many other types of fouling that the article does not cover, like the fouling of a water filter, boat hull and a pipeline (not involved in heat exchanging). I've heard/seen it applied mostly to biological organisms that clog a system (like a water intake) or cause some other detrimental effect (boat hull fouling slows it down), and to a lesser extent, I have heard it applied to non-living contaminants. I think that the article should be expanded to include other types of fouling. -- Kjkolb 07:48, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
