The service life, material, and maintenance level of stainless steel heat exchange tubes under normal operating conditions are related. How to put it?
For example:
304 stainless steel heat exchange tubes are commonly used in ordinary industrial circulating water and low-temperature heat exchange systems, with a service life of about 30-50 years in these environments;
316L stainless steel heat exchange tubes are commonly used in corrosive environments such as chemical engineering and seawater cooling. Their service life in these environments is about 30 years or more, and some can reach up to 50 years;
Dual phase stainless steel heat exchange tubes are commonly used in extreme conditions such as high chloride ion, high temperature, and high pressure.
Regular maintenance is important for stainless steel heat exchange tubes of any material! Chemical cleaning should be done every 6 months to avoid the accumulation of hard scale. For long-term disuse, nitrogen should be added to prevent moisture and avoid corrosion caused by chloride ion adsorption.
