Description
Bowman tube heat exchangers are used for heating or cooling process fluids, for example the closed circuit cooling of electrical equipment and for cooling water soluble oil solutions in quenching tanks. The Bowman FC100-3891-2 tube heat exchanger has an alloy body with cupro nickel tubestack and can be mounted remotely from the engine.
Bowman recommend NOT fitting zinc anodes because the tubes used in the construction of the heat exchangers are copper-nickel alloy, and as such they do not require a zinc anode. It is possible that if a zinc anode is fitted it can actually destroy the copper-oxide film built up by the tube as a natural defence, which can allow the tube material to be attacked.
