Overview: Corrosion failures in plate heat exchangers are discussed in this paper with reference to equipment design, service conditions and materials of construction. Included are case histories that illustrate service experience. Plate heat exchangers are chosen over shell-and-tube exchangers for applications requiring superior heat transfer efficiency and compactness, and lower weight. Efforts to maximize their inherent advantages drive plate heat exchanger design toward the use of thin plate sections that require highly corrosion-resistant materials, and narrow flow passages that are conducive to fouling.
