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.

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 repla...

3 Types Of Heat Transfer

Image
  Atoms and molecules are capable of transferring heat. Atoms are in motion at all times. The motion of molecules and atoms is the source of heat or thermal energy, and every matter contains this energy. The more molecules move, the more heat energy there will be. However, when it comes to heat transfer, it is nothing more than the transfer of heat from a high-temperature body to a low-temperature body. An electrical enclosure is cooled by transferring heat from inside and releasing it to the surrounding air. There are various methods of transferring heat, including convection, conduction, thermal radiation, and evaporative cooling. Sometimes a substance can absorb heat without an increase in temperature. This happens if the substance changes its physical state, such as when ice melts or when a liquid turns into a gas, such as this boiling water.   3 Types of Heat Transfer Conduction Convection Radiation 1.  Conduction Direct contact between objects resu...

What to do when Your Heat Exchanger is fail?

Image
A lack of effective cooling due to heat exchanger failure can cause production losses and unplanned downtime. Fortunately, two common causes of exchanger loss — mechanical failures and chemically induced corrosion — can be prevented. Heat exchangers are used in many critical processes to protect other valuable manufacturing equipment, optimise energy consumption and reduce associated operating costs. A properly selected, installed and maintained heat exchanger can help enhance the reliability and efficiency of a fluid system. When a heat exchanger fails, however, it can lead to costly downtime. Speaking of Heat Exchangers, specialised boiler tubes are utilised in the proper functioning of such exchangers.  SA179tube Is one leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Stockist Of A334 & SA334 Pipes & Tubes. Two common types of heat exchanger failure — both of which can be prevented — are: ·        Mechanical failures, including steam or water ha...
