The selection of tuyere material
Marine tuyere has many important functions in ship ventilation system, including air distribution, temperature regulation, air quality control, fire prevention and safety, noise reduction and comfort, beauty and decoration, maintenance and cleaning, etc.
Material and characteristics:
l Stainless steel: strong corrosion resistance, suitable for high humidity and high salinity environment.
l Aluminum alloy: light weight, corrosion resistance, suitable for weight-sensitive areas.
l ABS plastic: low cost, convenient installation, suitable for internal ventilation system.
l Glass fiber reinforced plastic (FRP): Good corrosion resistance, suitable for ventilation system of chemical storage cabin.
SUGGESTION:
1. Corrosion resistance is preferred: if the ship often operates in a high salt fog environment, it is recommended to choose stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
2. Cost control: If the budget is limited, consider galvanized steel plate or ABS plastic.
3. Weight sensitive area: For weight sensitive areas, such as passenger cabin, aluminum alloy is a better choice.
4. Fire protection requirements: ensure that the selected materials meet the fire protection specifications of the classification society.
