Discussion on the use of shell-and-tube heat exchangers in corrosive operating conditions
Thread Content
Under more severe corrosion conditions, what are the current mainstream materials used for heat exchangers? Heat exchanger equipment technology community
Silicon carbide, fluoroplastics, glass-lined materials (disk type, tube type), graphite, and special materials (tantalum, zirconium, nickel, titanium, niobium, etc.) can basically cover 99% of corrosion scenarios. Each type of corrosion-resistant heat exchanger has its unique advantages, and it is necessary to choose the most suitable corrosion prevention solution based on specific operating conditions (temperature, pressure), the properties of the medium, and the requirements of the process. One should not blindly follow the advice of any particular company...
Expert: handshake
I have a technical background, so I hope to be able to solve some problems and do something. Helping others solve problems, earning money for the boss, being able to support one’s own family, and achieving self-worth – that’s enough:lol
At present, graphite heat exchangers are the most widely used, most maturely developed, and offer the widest range of specifications for heat exchangers operating in corrosive environments.
