Experiences in the Manufacture of Monel Condensers

Abstract

This paper deals with the experiences of the Central Workshops at B.A.R.C. in fabricating several condensers, constructed out of Monel. Stringent code requirements are met in this construction. Dissimilar metals welding, vacuum brazing of components are discussed. Monel metal was selected for construction because of superior corrosion resistance and superior strength at low temperatures involved in the operations.
