- Carbon dioxide dissolves in liquid condensate and forms carbonic acid.
- Corrosion rates associated with oxygen are not as high in chiller systems as they are in boilers or condensers because they operate at lower temperatures.
- Manufacturer guidelines often recommend dosing heating and cooling systems with sulfite initially to scavenge any oxygen.
- Primary condensate tests operators should perform are conductivity and corrosion byproducts.
- Boiler water with a pH of 6 is considered acidic.
- The two main corrosion tests operators perform on cooling water are pH and corrosion coupon tests.
