Abstract
In a water-cooled condenser, titanium condenser tubes are rolled and/or welded at each end into a tube plate. The titanium tube plates are bolted to the condenser casing and a header casing by means of flanges. The sheet steel condenser casing is provided, at the connection location with the tube plates, with explosion-bonded titanium plating which is welded in a watertight manner to the tube plates on the steam space side. The explosion-bonded titanium plating is applied to the steam space side part of the flange. The flange bolting arrangement is located outside the sealing surface between flange and tube plate.
