RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE PREVENTION OF CORROSION AND SCALING IN HEATING SYSTEMS

How oxygen and carbonates can af ect the heating system
Oxygen and dissolved gasses in the water of the primary circuit contribute to the oxidation and the corrosion of the system components that are made of ordinary steel (radiators, …).
The resulting sludge is then deposited in the appliance exchanger.
The combination of carbonates and carbon dioxide in the water results in the formation of scale on the hot surfaces of the installation, including those of the appliance exchanger.
These deposits in the heat exchanger reduce the water fl ow rate and thermally insulate the exchange surfaces, which is likely to damage them.

Sources of oxygen and carbonates in the heating circuit
The primary circuit is a closed circuit; the water it contains is therefore isolated from the mains water.
When maintaining the system or filling up the circuit, water renewal results in the addition of oxygen and carbonates in the primary circuit. The larger the water volume in the system, the larger the addition.
Hydraulic components without an oxygen barrier (PE pipes and connections) admit oxygen into the system.

Prevention Principles

1. Clean the existing system before installing a new appliance
   Before the system is fi lled, it must be cleaned in accordance with standard EN14336.
   Chemical cleaning agents can be used. If the circuit is in bad condition, or the cleaning operation was not ei cient, or the volume of water in the installation is substantial (e.g. cascade system), it is recommended to separate the appliance from the heating circuit using a plate-to-plate exchanger or equivalent. In that case, it is recommended to install a hydrocyclone or magnetic filter on installaion side.

2. Limit the fi ll frequency
   Limit fi ll operations. In order to check the quantity of water that has been added into the system, a water meter can be installed on the fi lling line of the primary circuit.
   Automatic fi lling systems are not recommended unless the fi ll frequency is monitored and the scale and corrosion inhibitor remain at the correct levels.
   If your installation requires frequent water refi lling, make sure your system is free of water leaks.
   Inhibitors may be used in accordance with standard EN 14868.

3. Limit the presence of oxygen and sludge in the water
   A deaerator (on the appliance fl ow line) combined with a dirt separator (upstream of the appliance) must be installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. ACV recommends using additives that keep the oxygen in solution in the water, such as Fernox (www.fernox.com) and Sentinel (www.sentinel-solutions.net) products.
   The additives must be used in accordance with the instructions issued by the manufacturer of the water treatment product.

4. Limit the carbonate concentration in the water
   The fi ll water must be softened if its hardness is higher than 20° fH (11,2° dH).
   Check regularly the water hardness and enter the values in the service log.
   Water hardness table :**** Water hardness| °fH| °dH| mmolCa(HCO3)2 / l
   ---|---|---|---
    Very soft| 0 – 7| 0 – 3.9| 0 – 0.7
   Soft| 7  – 15|  3.9 – 8.4| 0.7 – 1.5
   Fairly hard| 15 – 25| 8.4 – 14| 1.5 – 2.5
   Hard| 25 – 42| 14 – 23.5| 2.5 – 4.2
   Very hard| > 42| > 23.5| > 4.2

5. Control the water parameters
   In addition to the oxygen and the water hardness, other parameters of the water must be checked.
   Treat the water if the measured values are outside the range.Acidity| 6,6 < pH < 8,5
   ---|---
   Conductivity| < 400 μS/cm (at 25°C)
   Chlorides| < 125 mg/l
   Iron| < 0,5 mg/l
   Copper| < 0,1 mg/l
