We have 3 interstage coolers for a Synthesis gas compressor.Synthesis gas is mostly H2 & N2 with small Ar & CH4.Tube side fluid is water & shell side fluid is Syn.gas.The heat exchangers are made of carbon steel.Now due to corrosion in tube to tubesheet joint we like to use SS for tubes.But our vendor dont' agree & mentioned that there will be a chance of crevice corrosion.Is there any real reason for vendor's concern?
