Reference list and • There are 2 main reason for this;

projects

Benefits heat 1. The enamel is much more harder then Corten steel.
exchangers 2. The chemical resistance of Corten is based on a surface
corrosion. Fe out of the steel which and this riches the Cu
layer. This Cu layer creates
a higher erosion resistance.
However due to the fact
Cu is less hard as corundum
the Cu will be eroded quickly
by corundum in the flyash.
 Benefits of enamelled heatexchangers
