Corrosion inhibition in lithium bromide absorption fluid for advanced and current absorption cycle machines.

Author(s) : VERMA S. K., MEKHJIAN M. S., SANDOR G. R., et al.

Summary

The paper presents the results of a novel corrosion inhibitor that exhibits improved protection of carbon steel over the inhibitors currently in practice. This inhibitor, formulated in 65 weight percent lithium bromide solution, offers excellent corrosion protection to carbon steel. Corrosion rates were determined using autoclave coupon testing. The corrosion rate in the 300 to 450 °F range was found to be low (1 to 4 mils per year), and the product also showed very low hydrogen generation (0.03 mg/in.2 of carbon steel per week). The metal was protected with a stable and adherent film.
