Hi Gents,
Can you introduce a reference to specify the material for tubes in aircoolers?
In specific, what could be the proper material for tubes in an air cooler as a steam condenser (steam inlet and condensate outlet)?
Thanks
Hello All,
In the basic phase of a project, thermal and sizing design of shell and tube heat exchangers shall be done or the responsibility can be given to the vendo?
Hi Gents,
What could be the reason and solution for the corrosion in the below photo?
The wall of electric equipment, nameplate, and lock all are 316L (material certificates approved valid for 1.4401/1.4404) and the weld filler is 316Lsi(1.4430).
The equipment is just received on-site and not...
@EdStainless
Thanks for your reply.
