Heat Exchangers for the Marine Industry

 


SA179 Tubes provides heat exchangers to support critical on-board systems of cruise ships, container vessels, bulk carriers, trawlers, tankers, barges, and tub boats, such as icebreakers, trawlers, tankers, barges, and tub boats. The state-of-the-art technology we offer is designed and manufactured to meet the highest standards to ensure a long operational lifetime and durability. We work closely with our customers to provide them with the expertise and solutions they need to boost their vessels’ performance.

Merchant fleet

There are over 50,000 merchant ships trading internationally, transporting a variety of cargo. It would be impossible to supply goods on the scale required to meet modern demands without them.

Emission control

The average container ship emits 40 times less CO2 than a large freight aircraft and three times less than a heavy lorry, but shipping has come under scrutiny because of emissions of nitrogen and sulphur oxides (NOx and SOx). The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) capped the sulphur content of marine fuel in 2010 at 3.5% worldwide, and at 1% in emission control areas (ECAs). In 2015, the ECA limit was lowered to 0.1%.

Outlook is plain sailing

In addition to a growing population, the long-term economic growth of Asia, Africa and Latin America will result in an increase in seaborne trade over the next decade. The demand for imported goods will also increase in emerging economies with higher disposable incomes. As a result, more and more people are spending their leisure time afloat. Since 1990, annual passenger numbers on cruises have increased by nearly seven percent. With a vast array of onboard facilities and activities, larger, more diverse ocean liners have become destinations in themselves.

Difference between Different Heat Exchanger Systems

Image
  A heat exchanger is a device for transferring heat between two fluids, such as liquids, gases, or vapours, of different temperatures. Depending on the type of heat exchanger being used, the heat is transferred from gas to gas, liquid to liquid, or liquid to liquid through a solid separator, which prevents mixing of the fluids or direct fluid contact. Frame and Plate Heat Exchanger Corrugated parallel plates are separated from each other by gaskets that control the alternating flow of hot and cold fluid over the surface of the plates. By tightening bolts, a frame plate and a pressure plate compress gasketed plates together. Two upper bars and a lower guiding bar suspend the gasketed plates and the pressure plate. By removing or adding plates, it is easy to clean and change the capacity of this device. As heat transfers from the warmer to the cooler channel, hot and cold media flow in alternate channels with processed fluids. Heat Exchanger For Shells And Tube A heat exchan

Heat Exchangers In Nuclear Power Plants

Image
  Use Of Heat Exchangers In Nuclear Power Plants A heat exchanger is a device that transfers heat from a hot to a cold fluid. It is desirable to increase the temperature of one fluid while cooling another in many engineering applications. A heat exchanger achieves this double action economically. It can be used to cool one petroleum fraction while warming another, to cool air or other gases while compressing them, and to preheat combustion air supplied to boiler furnaces using hot flue gas as a heating medium. Among other uses, it is used to transfer heat from metals to water in atomic power plants and to reclaim heat energy from the exhaust of a gas turbine by transferring it to compressed air on its way to the combustion chambers. In fossil-fuel and nuclear power plants, gas turbines, heating, air-conditioning, refrigeration, and the chemical industry, heat exchangers are extensively used. When they serve a specific purpose, the devices are given different names.

How To Repair Boiler Tube

Image
  In a boiler, the work – in this case, heat transfer – is carried out by the boiler tubes . The type of boiler (firetube, water tube, etc.) may affect the orientation and layout of the boiler, but the tubes are still transferring heat from the fire side to the water side. It is for this reason that boiler tube maintenance and repair are essential. As a result of the large temperature gradients, boiler tubes are subjected to a great deal of stress, so the tube design, material, and thickness have been chosen carefully for optimum and efficient operation. As boiler tubes may be the most crucial component of most boilers, the importance of proper operation, maintenance, and repair cannot be understated.  To ensure compliance with all rules and regulations, boilers built to ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code (BPVC) must be repaired by a National Board certified company. On board the ship, some of the common repairs made to the marine boiler are plugging of the tubes and replacing the
