You are very certain my damage was due to carbon dioxide, we solved that issue and our steam is top notch now. We do return our condensate back to the boilers, our traps are well placed and in working order and the copper and the aluminum exchanger is around USD 2,000 cheaper. I just want to...

Keep in mind that copper is pretty good at corroding as well, are you going to plate it or something? The steam contains chemicals to prevent that. And i am increasing the amount of fins as well.

Do you mean this is your goal temperature for the air leaving the exchanger? Around that yesWhat has changed that reduced their performance over time? Oxidation? Steam flow? The exchangers had gotten holes over the years (6 years), I've had to eliminate some tubes in all of them. The quality of...

How much energy are you currently exchanging from the steam, and how much more you hope to achieve with an improved exchanger? My goal is to get the exchangers to 160 - 180 degrees Celsius, currently the ones I am using are in bad shape and barely reach 145c ( They reached around 160-165c when...

Heya, id like a little help calculating the efficiency of some steam heat exchangers. They are used in industrial dryers, steam goes through the radiator and then air is blowed to it in order to heat the fabric. Currently my radiators are made from carbon steel tubes and fins, it has 78 flat...
