What Characteristics Should a Good Condensate Corrosion Inhibitor Have?
A goog volatile neutralizing amine should have a favourable distribution ratio in steam and condensate so that it protects the entire steam-condensate system. It should have no insoluble reaction products and should be stable at high temperatures and pressures. A goo filming inhibitor should be easy to disperse in water so that it can be fed uniformly. It should be stale under usage conditions and form a thin protective film without causing deposits in either the boiler or the steam-condensate system.
