Tantalum Heat Exchangers If you are thinking to buy Tantalum heat exchangers for any type of chemical application where corrosion resistant is the basic factor. With this main factor, there are also important factors like long term benefits of reduced downtime, increasing life expectancy and profitability. The capacity of tantalum to resist severe corrosion makes it a perfect decision for heat exchangers with highly corrosive process fluids. Severe Corrosive conditions associated with heating/boiling of corrosive acids in tanks can be managed by Tantalum Bayonet Heaters.
Tantalum heat exchanger comprises of Tantalum tubes with Carbon Steel Shell. The development comprises of a completely welded metal structure. Tantalum is immune to thermal and mechanical shock. The tantalum heat exchangers have a future of around 7 to 8 years. And it needs to be clean after 2 to 3 years. A tantalum heat exchanger uses a totally welded metal plan that has no gaskets to spill out. The tantalum heat exchangers are normally subject to Dye Penetration for surface cracks detection, Hydro testing and for certain situation Helium leak testing to check the equipment leakage.
