Air-cooled heat exchangers, such as condensers, dry coolers, or those used in free-cooling systems, are often exposed to elements, such as pollution and salty air, which can accelerate corrosion. Data ...

To prevent pitting corrosion, ensure materials of construction are suitably selected, and properly clean and prepare the heat exchanger for shutdown periods. Stress Corrosion.

Part 1 of this series looked at the causes and consequences of corrosion in data center free cooling system components such as air to water heat exchangers. Now, let us turn our attention to the ...

Unquestionably, heat exchanger vessels do deteriorate and fail. ... de-zincification, exfoliation, fatigue, stress corrosion cracking, etc. Unquestionably, heat exchanger vessels do deteriorate and ...

This exerts backpressure on the feedwater line towards the pumps and heat exchanger. There may or may not be a cutoff valve on this line as well. If there was enough existing corrosion in the pump ...
