Engineered Water Heating Solutions introducing
2
AquaPLEX is:...the engineered brand for potable water heating defined by: Lean duplex stainless steel alloy material ASME section IV, IV part HLW, and VIII code certified products Engineering design control of fabricated materials Specialized metal cutting technology State of the art welding technology Immersion pickling and passivation processing
3
AquaPLEX is: ◦ Lean Duplex stainless steel alloy Lean = high chromium, low nickel, other elements for enhanced corrosion resistance Duplex = Austenitic (300 series) and Ferritic (400 series) grain structures combined for strength and corrosion resistance to chloride stress cracking Material Content for commercial material and PVI AquaPLEX C Mn Cr Ni Mo N Other PVI ASME II A SA-240 0.04 6.0 21.5 1.5 0.5 0.23 Cu: 0.45 Typical LDX 2101 0.03 5.0 21.5 1.5 0.3 0.22 Cu: 0.30 Grain structure
4
AquaPLEX is: ◦ ASME section IV, IV part HLW and VIII code certification Material certification Design certification Welding certification Pressure vessel certification Every pressure vessel is code stamped after fabrication
5
AquaPLEX is: ◦ Engineering design control of fabricated materials ASME construction requirements (calculated strength values) Joint designs to prevent crevice corrosion formation A crevice is defined as two adjoining materials with the attachment joint that is > 2x depth to width ratio creviceNo crevice
6
AquaPLEX is: ◦ Specialized cutting technology Waterjet cutting with 3-axis (vertical) and 5-axis (beveled) cutting heads 50,000 psi water and diamond dust with no residual heat signature
7
AquaPLEX is: ◦ State of the art welding technology Synergic twin pulse robotic welding practices robotic welding tip tig manual/auto feed welding
8
AquaPLEX is: ◦ Full immersion pickling 4-5% HF @ 105F @ 60 min removal of heat tint restores chromium depleted layer from welding processes Restores 50/50 ratio material grain structure post-welding
9
AquaPLEX is: ◦ Full immersion passivation 20% HNO 3 @ 105F @ 60 min Restores chromium oxide layer on all metal surfaces 2-3mm surface finish prevents development of corrosion from potable water Water reactivates chromium oxide layer, keeps corrosion resistance properties intact
10
AquaPLEX is: Lean duplex stainless steel alloy material ASME section IV, IV part HLW, and VIII code certified products Engineered joint design control of fabricated materials Waterjet cutting via 3 and 5 axis heads with no heat signature Synergic pulse and TipTig welding technology Immersion pickling and passivation processing Compromise is not acceptable – no single point of failure allowed
11
AquaPLEX is: Not just material – it’s the design, fabrication and processing that makes an excellent choice of material better! 10 year warranty including chloride stress cracking Gas fired heat exchangers and tanks for all energy source storage water heaters Eliminate water heater corrosion in one easy spec…with AquaPLEX
