Corrosion problems in central heating systems

Abstract

Corrosion starts to attack the metallic and non‐metallic components of domestic and industrial heating systems from the time they are first filled with untreated water. The need for repairs, repetitive maintenance and component replacement is, in many cases, the result of a poor understanding of the contributory factors involved in how systems depreciate and also, to some extent, the complacency and shortsightedness of the specifiers and engineers responsible for the design and operation of such systems.
