Overview of replacing condenser tubes with stainless steel tubes:

-Engaged in condenser tube replacement, condenser tube replacement with stainless steel tube, copper tube replacement with stainless steel tube transformation. 304/316l stainless steel tube heat exchange tubes have high resistance to vibration, scaling, and corrosion. Stainless steel tube heat exchange tubes have overcome the difficulties that have plagued the industry in the past - reducing wall thickness to enhance heat transfer or using spiral rolling on the tube wall to weaken tube stiffness, resulting in reduced wall thickness, enhanced heat transfer, and increased stiffness. At the same time, they have anti vibration Anti scaling -.

The condenser is an essential cooling equipment for steam turbine generator units. Due to the pollution of rivers, lakes, and seawater systems, the corrosion rate of the condenser cooling pipes is intensified, resulting in frequent leakage of the condenser, which seriously affects normal production- Copper pipes are prone to corrosion such as ammonia ions and sulfides, which can cause leakage. At the same time, due to the unsmooth inner wall of copper pipes, microorganisms and various dirt are easily attached, greatly reducing the use of copper pipes.

Introduction to welded steel pipes for condensers:

The condenser tube replacement and condenser stainless steel tube replacement welded steel pipes are mainly used in industries such as thermal power generation, chemical industry, and steel. The condenser and heater are replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, the oil cooler is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, the chiller is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, the sampling cooler is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, the extraction cooler is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, the heat exchanger is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, and the shaft seal heater is replaced with 304/316l stainless steel pipes, High pressure heater - replace 304/316l stainless steel pipes, low pressure heater - replace 304/316l stainless steel pipes, air preheater, air cooler, etc.

Condenser tube exchange condenser tube exchange stainless steel tube stainless steel tube heat exchange tube specification:

diameter Ф 12~ Ф 76mm, with a wall thickness of 0.2-3.0mm, available in two lengths: fixed and indefinite- The types of stainless steel pipes used include 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 317, and 317L.

The welded steel pipe used for condenser tube replacement and stainless steel tube replacement is manufactured using imported pipe manufacturing equipment, which is equivalent to or slightly stronger than stainless steel pipes. The metallographic structure of the weld seam and the mechanical properties of the base material, strength, etc. are also slightly different. Due to the uniform thickness and smooth surface of the stainless steel pipe strip, it is indeed better than cold drawn, hot rolled, and seam stainless steel pipes of the same material. The elongation is greater than 35%, and the hardness is small, making it easy to expand and connect.

Classification and specifications of stainless steel tubes for condenser tube replacement:

Stainless steel tubes, stainless steel threaded tubes, stainless steel corrugated tubes, 201 stainless steel threaded tubes, 304 stainless steel threaded tubes, 316L stainless steel threaded tubes, stainless steel U-shaped tubes, stainless steel finned tubes, etc. Our company's self-developed stainless steel heat exchange tubes are made of high-quality stainless steel tubes, stainless steel strips, cold drawn, hot drawn forming, and strip steel, which are rolled, welded, inspected, rolled, polished, fused, and polished in a continuous process Produced and processed from 316L stainless steel pipes; We can produce various stainless steel pipe specifications such as different pipe diameters, wall thicknesses, and length forms according to the needs of users.

The stainless steel tubes used for condenser tube replacement include the following:

1. Stainless steel tube heat exchange tube heat transfer energy. Due to the use of thin-walled stainless steel tubes with a wall thickness of 0.5-0.7mm, the overall heat transfer energy is improved. Under the same heat exchange area, the overall heat transfer coefficient is 2.124-8.408% higher than that of copper tubes.

2. Due to the use of American standard AISl304, 316l and other stainless alloy steels for the pipes, they have high hardness and the rigidity of stainless steel pipes is also significantly improved. Therefore, it has strong impact energy and anti vibration energy of high-temperature steam.

3. Due to the smooth inner wall of the pipe, the thickness of the bottom layer of the boundary laminar flow is reduced, which not only enhances heat transfer but also improves the ability to resist scaling.

4. The process of installing heat exchange tubes adopts the expansion tube technology of transmission, and the outer diameter tolerance of stainless steel tubes is the same as that of copper tubes. There is no need to change the machining tolerance of tube plate holes, which is conducive to direct on-site selection and convenient for unit condenser tube replacement.

5.304/316l stainless steel heat exchange tubes are economical. Under the same heat exchange area, the cost of stainless steel tubes is about 80% of the cost of copper tubes, and can be directly transformed into tube bundles.

In order to eliminate welding stress on heat exchange tubes, heat treatment is carried out at a high temperature of 1050 ℃ under protective gas.

7. All pipes are subjected to pressure difference method for leakage inspection, with a pressure test reaching 1.0Mpa and a pressure drop of 5 minutes.

Safety and Economy of 304/316l Stainless Steel Tube Heat Exchangers for Low Pressure Heat Exchangers:

Overview: The general principles for selecting condenser tubes for stainless steel tube replacement are:

1. No severe corrosion leakage, use as long as possible, erosion and wear, vibration resistance, high heat transfer coefficient, and reasonable structure. For decades, copper pipes have been used in my condensers, oil coolers, chillers, and more, due to their high thermal conductivity.

2. In practice, some copper tubes of the condenser are subjected to severe ammonia corrosion, while others are subjected to severe wear and tear. These two phenomena cause copper tube leakage, greatly reducing the use of copper tubes, reducing the safety and economy of unit operation, and increasing the time for shutdown and replacement of copper tubes. Therefore, many people have started to consider the issue of condenser pipe materials.

In recent years, stainless steel heat exchange tubes have been widely used in condensers, oil coolers, air coolers, low-pressure heaters, high-pressure heaters, air coolers, heat exchangers, chillers, and air preheaters. According to incomplete calculations, the units used are over 50%, including 50-300MW units. The use of 304/316l stainless steel heat exchange tubes has broken the traditional concept of only using copper tubes, improved equipment safety and economy, and reduced investment.

However, there are still many people who lack interest in using stainless steel heat exchange tubes for condenser tube replacement. The main reason is that the thermal conductivity of stainless steel heat exchange tubes is much lower than that of copper tubes, which may affect heat transfer. For this reason, relevant units have conducted many studies on the overall heat transfer coefficient of stainless steel heat exchange tubes used in condensers, and have achieved great results. More and more power plants are replacing copper pipes with stainless steel pipes.

Condenser tube replacement condenser stainless steel tube replacement outlet:

Lianyungang Lingdong has both years of experience in condenser technology and experienced young professionals with rich experience in design, process, manufacturing, and project management. The company's standard "Surface condenser for steam turbines" specifies the design elements of condensers, as well as the thermal calculation, resistance calculation, strength calculation, and related calculation methods, manufacturing, and acceptance requirements for condensers. Lianyungang Lisheng Electric Power Energy Saving Equipment Co., Ltd. has participated in the design and manufacturing of thermal power plant condensers with a large number of operational examples.

Summary - Internal and external design and operation experience. Compared with brass tubes, the welding of condenser tubes for stainless steel tubes and stainless steel tubes for heat exchange has the following advantages:

1. Stainless steel heat exchange tubes are three times more corrosion-resistant, vibration resistant, and wear-resistant than copper tubes, and can be used;

2. Stainless steel pipes are not easy to stain or scale, and can last for 30-40 years;

3. Although the thermal conductivity of stainless steel heat exchange tubes is inferior to that of copper, the wall thermal resistance only accounts for 3% to 5% of the total thermal resistance. Due to the increase in water velocity inside the pipe, the increase in cleanliness coefficient, and the decrease in wall thickness, the heat transfer energy of stainless steel is higher than that of copper alloy;

4. The manufacturing technology, specifications, performance indicators, inspection methods, and scale of the inner thin-walled welded condenser tube replacement and stainless steel tube replacement have all reached an international level;

5. The thermal conductivity coefficient of stainless steel pipes is lower than that of copper pipes, but the difference in thermal conductivity coefficient is reduced by reducing the wall thickness. Due to the smoother inner wall compared to copper pipes, the convective heat transfer coefficient is higher than copper pipes, and the smoother outer wall compared to copper pipes, the condensation heat release coefficient is higher than copper pipes. According to the testing and calculation of one unit, the overall heat transfer coefficient of stainless steel pipes with a wall thickness of 0.7mm is about 2.124% higher than that of copper pipes with a wall thickness of 1mm;

6. As the operating time increases, the overall heat transfer coefficient of stainless steel pipes decreases slowly, while the overall heat transfer coefficient of copper pipes decreases much faster than that of stainless steel pipes. In the long run, using it as a whole improves the economy of the unit, while also improving the safety of the unit.
