以海水作为冷却水的火力发电厂和原子能发电厂的冷凝器和淡化水装置的热交换器管,近来已开始使用钛管,特别是较多地使用便宜的焊接钛管。由于钛管在天然海水中有较长的使用寿命。因此,对于要求高可靠性的原子能发电厂的冷凝器管来说,钛管就有了得以全面应用的机会,从而迎来了飞跃的实用阶段。 Titanium tubes have recently come into use, particularly more inexpensively welded titanium tubes, as heat exchanger tubes for condenser and desalination plants of thermal power plants and nuclear power plants using seawater as cooling water. Titanium tubes have a long service life in natural seawater. Therefore, the titanium tube has the opportunity to be fully applied to the condenser tube of nuclear power plant which requires high reliability, and thus usher in a practical phase of leap forward.
