Titanium Wet Chlorine Cooler
Specification:
Application: Chlor- Alkali industry
Type: Vertical cooler
Shell Diameter: 800mm
Tube Diameter: 26mm
Materials: Titanium Gr2
Product Introduction
A Titanium Wet Chlorine Cooler is a shell-and-tube heat exchanger used in chlor-alkali plants to cool hot wet chlorine gas generated during the electrolysis of brine.
Chlorine gas leaving the electrolytic cells typically contains significant moisture and has a temperature of approximately 80–95°C. Before entering the chlorine drying system, the gas must be cooled to condense part of the water vapor and reduce corrosion risks in downstream equipment.
The wet chlorine cooler performs this function by transferring heat from the chlorine gas to circulating cooling water.
Due to the extremely corrosive nature of wet chlorine, commercially pure titanium (Grade 2) is used for the heat transfer tubes and tube sheets. Titanium forms a stable oxide film that provides excellent resistance to wet chlorine, hydrochloric acid, and hypochlorous acid environments.
Structural Design
The equipment adopts a vertical shell-and-tube structure with a floating head design, which allows thermal expansion and facilitates maintenance.
Typical configuration:
- Chlorine gas: tube side
- Cooling water: shell side
- Shell material: carbon steel with rubber lining
- Tubes: titanium Grade 2
