Hydromx is an organic, alkaline solution. Its density and flow resistance is the same as water. Besides, due to its high boiling point, its vapour pressure is low. It protects the heating system better than water and does not damage the system parts with these properties.
CORROSSION IN HEAT TRANSFER SYSTEMS
Corrosion comes up to be a bigger problem than the creation scab and lime stone. Being exposed to corrosion as a result of melting of the metal, changing of the system parts shall be brought to the agenda.
CORROSION TYPES
- Oxygen Corrosion
- CO2 Corrosion
- Caustic Breaking
- Low pH Corrosion
- Hydrogen Breaking
- Under Segregate Corrosion
Oxygen corrosion causes deep gaps and ant shaped corrosion over the metal. The dissolved CO2 increases the acidity a little bit. The increase of the acidity increases the corrosive effect.
The corrosion caused in low ph levels and by hydrogen in created more under the segregates. One of its types is the hydrogen breaking. Besides, decarburization is caused by the reaction of hydrogen breaking and the carbon inside the metal.
The lower parts of the segregates on the surface of the metals cause the creation of local corrosion by creating various potential differences.
