Titanium Heat Exchanger Benefits

In seawater and aggressive cooling duty, titanium has become the default heat-exchanger material — and for good reason.

Corrosion & Fouling Resistance

Titanium is essentially immune to seawater pitting and resists biofouling-related attack, keeping heat-transfer surfaces clean and intact.

Thin Walls, Efficient Transfer

Titanium's strength lets designers use thin tube walls, which compensates for its lower conductivity and keeps overall heat transfer efficient.

Long Service Life

• Decades of operation with minimal corrosion
• Lower maintenance and fewer shutdowns
• Reduced lifecycle cost despite higher initial price

Typical Components

• Condenser and HX tubes (ASTM B338)
• Tube sheets and plates
• Flanges, fittings and water boxes

Common grade: Grade 2; Grade 7/12/16 for hotter or more aggressive water.
