Stainless steel heat exchange tubes are the vascular level thermal conductive nerves of industrial equipment, achieving three times the anti explosion strength of copper tubes with ultra-thin stainless steel tube walls!
It has four unique skills to overturn copper pipes:
1、 Explosion resistance strength
Copper tubes can withstand a maximum pressure of 25MPa, stainless steel heat exchange tubes can easily withstand 80MPa (nuclear power plant standard), and high-pressure reactors in chemical plants do not bulge.
2、 Thermal conductivity efficiency
Copper tubes rely on thick walls (≥ 1.2mm), stainless steel heat exchange tubes have thin walls and mirror inner walls, with heat transfer exceeding 8%, and power plant condensers save 15% of coal.
3、 Corrosion resistance
Copper pipes are susceptible to corrosion from chloride ions and ammonia, while 316L stainless steel heat exchange tubes can withstand hydrochloric acid/seawater, doubling the lifespan of seawater desalination equipment.
4、 Anti scaling
The rough inner wall of copper pipes is prone to fouling, and electrolytic polishing Ra ≤ 0.4 μ m ensures that impurities slip away without residue, reducing boiler cleaning frequency by 60%.
There are also various forms of stainless steel heat exchange tubes, such as straight tubes, U-shaped tubes, corrugated tubes, finned tubes, coil tubes… How to choose? Choose U-shaped for nuclear power, use corrugated joints for viscosity, and save space on coils!
