| Abstract: | Water source heat pump is a new kind of energy saving process.One of the most common problems for water source heat pump system is the corrosion of the copper in heat exchanger.The quality of water is the key factor.The river water collected in six different places of the Yangtze River and Jialing River in Chongqing were analyzed.Various parameters(pH,coexisted ions,and hardness value)were investigated.It showed that the Yangtze River and Jialing River water was suitable for developing water source heat pump technology.Further more,aimed at the temperature and pH of the raw water's variation range in a year,the corrosion behavior of copper material was studied by controlling the water environmental condition.Corrosion rate of copper is accelerated at high temperature and lower pH value. |
