2205 DUPLEX INSULATED HOT WATER TANKS
Duplex 2205: The Smart Choice for High-Temp, High-Chloride Environments.
For hot water tanks operating above 55°C with elevated chloride levels, we recommend using 2205 Duplex stainless steel. Its superior resistance to chloride-induced corrosion makes it the ideal choice for such conditions.
However, working with 2205 Duplex requires specialised expertise. Its higher tensile strength and lower ductility compared to 300-grade stainless steel demand precise weld procedures and meticulous attention during forming to ensure structural integrity and optimal performance.
CASE STUDY: High-Performance Hot Water Tank Replacement for Ovation
Ovation, a leading meat processing company based in Feilding, approached DTS to address a critical issue with their existing 10,000L hot water tank. The tank, operating at 85°C, had begun to exhibit signs of corrosion—posing both operational and safety concerns.
