Corrosion of heat exchanger in thermal desalination plants and current trends in material selection

Heat Exchanger constitutes an integral component of thermal desalination plants. Heat exchanger plays an immensely important role since the success of the whole process of low pressure evaporation and condensation depends upon the efficiency of heat transfer. The chemically aggressive environment surrounding the different sections of the thermal desalination plant including heat exchangers can cause failure due to corrosion and/or erosion. The...
