Chlorine attacks galvanized and stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum and these materials don’t do well in condenser / heat exchanger service.
Titanium is the solution to this problem because it is completely unaffected by the chlorine in sea water. Titanium is extremely tough and is will not fail if exposed to high water velocities in the tubes (+8 fps or more). NO zinc anodes are required, ever!
High sea water velocities create turbulence which provides a ‘self-scouring’ effect, keeping the tubes clean and free of marine growth and silt. Plugging is minimized and efficiency is maximized!
