The influence of heat exchange tube material on heat exchange efficiency
Thread Content
The workshop currently has two fixed-tube-sheet U-tube heat exchangers. The fluid flowing through the tube side is hot water at 190°C, while the fluid flowing through the shell side is phthalic anhydride-based gas. One of the heat exchanger tubes is made of titanium, and the other is made of 316L stainless steel. I wonder what the heat exchange efficiency of these two heat exchangers is like?
The effect is the same; I don’t understand why different materials are used for the heat exchangers in similar media

The thermal conductivity of Ti is very close to that of 198-8
The thermal conductivity of Ti is very close to that of 18-8 (I made a mistake just now, sorry). The thermal conductivities are 16 W/mK and 18 W/mK respectively
The material of the heat exchange tube has little impact on the heat exchange efficiency.
The material of the heat exchange tubes does have an impact, right? :) The thermal conductivity of graphite, tantalum, glass, and silicon carbide varies greatly
