Admiralty brass and Chloride water
(OP)
One of the Lube oil heat exchanger tubes material is Admiralty brass. We are planning to use cooling water having chloride of 350 ppm. Whether admiralty brass can be used for the above cooling water quality? Whether temperature rise in the cooling water will have any effect in the admiralty tubes?
Thanks to clarify

The temp. of the water shouldn't matter much.

The usual 1-3 PPM are fine, but I have seen something (cannot find now) about problems at higher levels.

Admiralty is nearly impervious to cl-, at least up to ~20,000 ppm. But 350 ppm of actual CHLORINE in water would make me perform some meaningful tests for suitability.

I don't think it was the chlorine per se that caused failures, but the decomposition products of the biomass, which include ammonia compounds.
What is the temperature range?

We welcome a dry spell as the water will get salty enough that we can pick very large white shrimp off the traveling screens. It is nothing to getting a 48 quarter cooler full in an hour.
