The heat exchanger plates, used in the device shown in the illustration, are produced from which of the listed materials? Illustration MO-0110

Correct Answer: Option A — Titanium

Titanium is the industry standard for heat exchanger plates in marine evaporators due to its exceptional resistance to corrosion and erosion in high-salinity environments. Unlike copper or bronze, titanium effectively resists the aggressive pitting caused by hot seawater, ensuring a long service life for the plate pack.
