Abstract

To shorten the time of fouling tests, fouling life was defined. The statistical analysis method for type II‐censored exponential life data under constant‐stress accelerated life testing models and the accelerated coefficients a and b were obtained. By using an accelerated model, the estimators of the fouling life under usual stress could be obtained. A computing example was given. Results indicated that it is credible and feasible to perform accelerated life tests of asymptotic fouling thermal resistance, and will be of important value to experimental research of fouling. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
