Based on the operating characteristics of seawater-cooled phosphoric acid processes, UKADA developed a customized solution utilizing super duplex stainless steel combined with a spiral plate heat exchanger design to improve equipment reliability under extreme conditions.
1. Super Duplex Stainless Steel for Superior Corrosion Resistance
The heat exchanger in this project is manufactured using super duplex stainless steel.
This advanced material combines the advantages of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels and provides excellent performance in chloride-containing, high-salt, and acidic environments.
Key advantages include:
- Excellent resistance to pitting corrosion;
- Strong resistance to crevice corrosion;
- High mechanical strength;
- Extended equipment service life.
Compared with conventional stainless steel materials, super duplex stainless steel is particularly suitable for:
- Seawater cooling systems;
- Phosphoric acid production plants;
- Wet-process phosphoric acid applications;
- Highly corrosive industrial heat transfer systems.
2. Spiral Plate Heat Exchanger Design for Efficient Heat Transfer and Self-Cleaning Performance
The equipment adopts a dedicated spiral flow channel design, which generates high turbulence during operation.
This structure provides several advantages:
High-Efficiency Heat Transfer
The continuous spiral flow path enhances fluid turbulence and improves heat transfer performance, achieving higher thermal efficiency with a compact equipment design.
Excellent Fouling Resistance
Higher flow velocity generates shear forces on the heat transfer surface, reducing the accumulation of deposits and helping maintain stable heat transfer performance.
Lower Maintenance Requirements
The self-cleaning effect of the spiral structure reduces cleaning frequency, minimizes downtime, and lowers overall operating costs.
Project Application Value
This customized heat exchanger is applied in a large-scale continuous phosphate chemical production system.
