Corrosion Analysis of Copper Tubes in the Exchangers with the Assistance of Atom Absorption Spectroscopy

Article Preview

Abstract:

Copper was always used as the tube materials of heat exchangers because of its superior thermal performance. The working condition of the pipes played an important role in the corrosion process. Copper would be eroded by the dissolve oxygen and carbon dioxide in water. In this manuscript, the corrosion factors inside the heat exchangers were analyzed. Besides, atom absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was introduced and used to detect copper in the working media of two exchangers. Advantages and disadvantages of AAS were discussed.
