Acceptable Metal for Heat Exchanger for Liquid Silicate Solution

10/10/2011 12:08 PM

I'm in a quandry. I'm putting together a package for a customer and I need to find a heat exchanger. The application is for liquid silicate. Temperatures will range from 165 - 195 on the process side. I'll be using steam to heat @150 psig. The SpGr is 1.19, the specific heat assume 1. The ph = 10 -12. It is non-corrosive to mild steel. I thinking of using stainless steel tubes with steel body (steam in the shell) I'm just not sure if SS is a good choice. If possible, I'd like to use typically available materials.

First, clearly define the contents of the slurry.

Then visit some of the metals compatibility sites on the web, such as Mat web.

Or, contact your heat exchanger vendor and ask their technical people.

This is not a slurry. The silicate is a disolved solid. I'll check the web. I tried several times to Google an appropriate site, but wasn't having any luck. Thanks for the lead
