DUE TO THE COMPLEXITIES OF SOLUTIONS AND APPLICATIONS, IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CONTACT THEIR CHEMICAL SUPPLIER FOR HEAT EXCHANGER MATERIAL COMPATIBILITY AND RECOMMENDATIONS.

PLEASE ENSURE APPLICABILITY OF HEAT EXCHANGER BEFORE INSTALLING SINCE WE CANNOT GUARANTEE HEAT EXCHANGERS AGAINST PREMATURE FAILURE DUE TO CORROSION OR CHEMICAL DESTRUCTION CAUSED BY UNUSUAL CONDITION OVER WHICH WE HAVE NO CONTROL, SUCH AS:

• Excessively high solution temperatures.

• The concentration of the solution.

• The presence of inhibitors.

• The presence of other acids causing a secondary reaction.

• Stray electrical currents.

• Flux floating on the surface.

• The presence of disolved gases.

• Excessive sludge build-up.

• Stagnant or turbulent flow of the solution.

• Aeration.

• Presence of oxygen or an oxidizing agent in the solution.

• Erosion.

• High pressures.

• Vacuum conditions.
