| Thickness | 3 mm (±0.1 mm) |
| Dimensions | 600 x 600 mm (±1 mm) |
| Welding Method | Precision TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) |
| Surface Finish | Polished, burr-free edges |
| Flatness Tolerance | ≤ 0.5 mm over entire plate |
| Weight per Plate | Approx. 1.6 kg (based on density 4.5 g/cm³) |
| Operating Temperature | -50°C to +300°C |
Product Advantages & Benefits
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: Titanium naturally forms a protective oxide layer, making these plates highly resistant to corrosion from water, brine, glycol, and other media used in ice storage systems. This ensures long service life and minimal maintenance.
- Lightweight yet Strong: With a density approximately 60% of steel, titanium plates are lightweight for easy handling and installation, while maintaining excellent tensile strength (240-550 MPa depending on grade). This reduces structural load on support frames.
- Precision Welded Construction: Our advanced TIG welding process with controlled heat input minimizes distortion and ensures consistent weld penetration. Each plate is inspected for weld integrity and flatness, meeting tight tolerances for uniform stacking and alignment.
- Thermal Performance: Titanium’s low thermal conductivity (approx. 17 W/m·K) helps minimize heat transfer between ice tanks and the surrounding environment, improving overall system efficiency. The smooth surface also reduces ice adhesion, facilitating easier ice release during melting cycles.
- Customizable Configurations: We offer flexibility in dimensions, hole patterns, and edge profiles to suit specific project requirements. Additional features such as rubber gaskets or mounting holes can be added upon request.
- Excellent Dimensional Stability: The 3mm thickness provides a robust platform that resists bending and warping under typical ice storage loads (up to several tons per square meter). The plates maintain flatness even after multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Application in Immersion Ice Storage Systems
These sleeper plates are specifically designed for use as spacers, supports, or cover plates in immersion ice thermal energy storage systems. They are placed between layers of ice coils or within ice tanks to provide separation, prevent ice bridging, and improve heat exchange efficiency. Typical applications include:
- Ice storage tanks for commercial HVAC and district cooling
- Industrial process cooling with phase change materials
- Cold storage warehouses and food processing facilities
- Emergency backup cooling systems

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What titanium grade do you use for these sleeper plates?
A: We primarily use Grade 1 (commercially pure) or Grade 2 titanium, which offer excellent corrosion resistance and formability. Other grades like Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) can be supplied upon request for higher strength applications. -
Q: Can you produce plates with different dimensions or thickness?
A: Yes, we offer full customization. Plates can be made in sizes from 100x100mm up to 1000x2000mm, and thicknesses from 1mm to 10mm. Please provide your specific requirements for a quote. -
Q: How do you ensure the flatness of the plates?
A: Our precision welding process uses clamping fixtures and controlled cooling to minimize distortion. After welding, each plate is checked on a granite surface plate. Flatness tolerance is ≤0.5 mm over the entire 600x600mm area. -
Q: Are these plates compatible with all types of ice storage media?
A: Titanium is compatible with most common media including water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and brine solutions. For aggressive chemicals, we recommend testing a sample first. Our plates are tested for pH range 4-10. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for an order of 1000 pieces?
A: For standard 3mm 600x600mm plates, lead time is approximately 20 working days after order confirmation. Larger quantities may require additional time; we will provide a clear schedule upon inquiry. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we can provide samples (e.g., 1-2 pieces) for evaluation. The sample cost is usually the product price plus shipping, which is refundable for bulk orders. Please contact our sales team to arrange. -
Q: How are the plates packaged for export?
A: Plates are individually wrapped in protective film, then stacked with foam interlayers in sturdy plywood crates or cardboard boxes, depending on quantity. The packaging is suitable for sea freight, air freight, or express delivery. -
Q: What certifications do you have for quality?
A: Our factory operates under a quality management system that follows internal standards. While we do not hold specific certificates like ISO or CE at this time, our products are tested and inspected per ASTM B265 and customer requirements. We can provide material test reports upon request.
