1 Scope
This Defence Standard (DEF STAN) 02-329 in conjunction with the documents referred to herein,
specifies the general requirements for heat exchangers installed in HM Surface Ships and Submarines.

The heat exchangers covered by this Standard include the following:

1) Air Coolers and Air Conditioning Air Coolers;

2) Air Ejector Condensers;

3) Gland Vapour Condensers;

4) Drain Coolers;

5) Desalination Plant Condensers and Heat Exchangers;

6) Fresh Water Coolers including Diesel Jacket Water Coolers;

7) Fresh Water/Salt Water Heat Exchangers for air cooling of Alternators, Generators and Motor

Condensers are not covered by this Standard (see Clause 6.2)

2 Warning
The Ministry of Defence (MOD), like its contractors, is subject to both United Kingdom and European
laws regarding Health and Safety at Work. Many Defence Standards set out processes and procedures
that could be injurious to health if adequate precautions are not taken. Adherence to those processes
and procedures in no way absolves users from complying with legal requirements relating to Health and
Safety at Work.

10 Corporate Experience & Knowledge

10.1 Materials

Table 2 lists the materials previously used for shell and tube heat exchangers and ancillary fittings, which
should be used wherever practicable. Any proposal to use alternative or future developed materials shall
be submitted for MOD approval before proceeding with the equipment design. Aluminium Brass is listed

10.2 Microbiological Corrosive Attack

a) In recent years there have been a growing number of premature failures of CuNi tubestacks due to
microbiological corrosive attack. The majority of these events have occurred in vessels are fitted
with new or recently overhauled tubestacks and is believed to result from sulphite reducing bacteria
(SRB) present in basin water attacking the unprotected substrate material. The build up of a
protective oxide layer (conditioning) on the surface of CuNi tubes is essential before the tubes are
exposed to basin/harbour waters.

b) Full options for conditioning SW cooled heat exchangers are detailed in DEF-STAN 02-781 issue 2.
