EN 14868:2005 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard results mainly from investigations into and experience gained on the corrosion of metallic m
19、aterials normally present in water circulation systems in buildings (unalloyed and low alloyed steels, cast iron, aluminium, copper and copper alloys, stainless steels). Because of the complex interactions between the various influencing factors, which can alter during service life due either to nor
20、mal operation changes in service conditions or accidental events, the extent of corrosion can only be expressed in terms of likelihood. This European Standard therefore is a guidance document and does not set explicit rules for the use of metallic materials in water systems. A correct evaluation of
21、the corrosion likelihood therefore needs a corrosion expert (or at least a person with technical training in the corrosion field) and knowledge of the technology and operating conditions of the system considered. Though incidences of severe damage because of corrosion (and/or scaling) are generally
22、rare, certain basic precautions should be taken in order to maintain a long-term, trouble-free service. This European Standard should therefore be considered as a guidance document. On the basis of the information provided herein, decisions can be made during design, installation and service life to
23、 minimize the likelihood of corrosion damage occurring. EN 14868:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard gives a review of influencing factors on the corrosion likelihood of metallic components (pipes, tanks, vessels, heat exchangers, pumps etc.) in water circulation systems in buildings. The wate
24、r circulation systems considered are: heating systems (up to 110 C service water temperature); cooling and chilling systems; which are filled with potable water or water of similar composition according to the Directive 98/83/EC. NOTE 1 Sanitary hot water systems with a re-circulation loop are not c
25、onsidered in this European Standard as they are not really closed system, because the water is continually renewed. The corrosion likelihood of these systems is discussed in EN 12502 Parts 1 to 5 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. NOTE 2 Cooling systems with open atmospheric towers are not considered in this European S
26、tandard because fresh water is generally added to the system periodically to compensate for losses by evaporation or blow-down. NOTE 3 Heating systems in buildings, connected to district heating systems without an intervening heat exchanger, are not considered in this European Standard. However, loc
27、al heating systems, where several buildings are heated by one boiler plant, are included. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this European Standard.

32、ulation systems almost all types of corrosion should be taken into consideration. The following types of corrosion can occur in the systems under consideration: uniform corrosion; localised corrosion: pitting corrosion; bimetallic corrosion; crevice corrosion; deposit corrosion; water-line corrosion
33、; selective corrosion (de-alloying); erosion corrosion; cavitation corrosion; stress corrosion cracking; microbial corrosion. These types of corrosion can lead to different kinds of corrosion damage: leakage; constriction of flow; reduction of efficiency; boiler noise; seizure of movable components
34、and other detrimental effects. EN 14868:2005 (E) 7 6 Role of oxygen 6.1 General In the systems under consideration, the corrosion processes are mainly determined by the extent of oxygen ingress into the system. Generally, oxygen reduction is the driving force for anodic metal dissolution reactions.
35、If the ingress of oxygen can be prevented, the rate of corrosion will be minimised to the extent that corrosion damages will normally not occur. Oxygen can enter the system in different ways: as dissolved oxygen in the filling and any make-up water; from the atmosphere into the water within an open
36、expansion vessel or some so-called de-aeration units and with some kinds of pressurisation systems (e.g. compressor or pump pressurisation systems); from the atmosphere in the case of negative pressure (e.g. through gaskets, O-rings on valves or some automatic air vents); from the atmosphere by diff
37、usion through organic materials (e.g. plastic pipes without barrier, rubber hoses or rubber membranes of air-filled expansion vessels and some so-called de-aeration systems); as dissolved oxygen in drinking water in the case of defective secondary heat exchangers for domestic hot water, where the pr
38、essure in the domestic hot water is greater than in the primary heating water; from air pockets remaining in the system after refilling during maintenance or modification. Corrosion becomes negligible after consumption of the oxygen initially present in the filling water provided that the water is n
39、ot renewed and no air entry is possible. The main concern with a closed system is therefore to maintain water and air tightness. However, in some systems, especially large complex ones, maintaining complete air tightness can be impractical. 6.2 Influence of design and operating conditions on oxygen
40、ingress With respect to oxygen ingress, two cases should be considered: Case I: systems with no significant oxygen ingress; Case II: systems with continuous or intermittent oxygen ingress. Case I is defined by the fact that practically no oxygen ingress is possible during service. Oxygen dissolved i
41、n the initial fill water is quickly used up in forming corrosion products, which in most cases does not lead to impairment of the system. Case II is characterised by the fact that oxygen ingress is possible during service either occasionally, regularly or continuously. Systems designed to represent
42、Case I can become Case II during service depending on operating conditions. Examples of Case I are as follows: a. Systems with a closed expansion vessel, which are correctly designed, installed and maintained. b. Open vented heating systems under conditions where only negligible amounts of oxygen ar
43、e introduced into the circulating water. EN 14868:2005 (E) 8 Examples of Case II are as follows: c. Open vented systems where during service the re-circulating water is regularly enriched with oxygen. d. Systems with closed expansion vessels in situations where: volume of the expansion vessel is too
44、 small; gas pressure within the dry expansion vessel is not correctly adjusted to match the water pressure; gas pressure decreases during service; water volume decreases because of water loss (e.g. from valves and pumps). Such circumstances can result in negative pressure in the system during coolin
45、g phases (e.g. overnight), leading to oxygen ingress through O-rings or gaskets and automatic air vents. e. Systems with continuous oxygen ingress by diffusion through the walls of organic materials, e.g. plastic pipes, rubber hoses. NOTE Refilling of a system does not normally lead to significant o
46、xygen ingress. However, if the circulation water is regularly renewed because of losses in the system and excessive amounts of fresh water are added (more than 2 times initial fill volume) oxygen ingress will almost certainly lead to significant impairment of the system. 7 Microbial corrosion Micro-
47、organisms (algae, yeasts, fungi, bacteria etc.) can exist in debris left in the system after construction or can enter the system with the initial filling water or via open header tank during operation. In Case II systems, this can lead to bio-fouling problems and can also give rise to microbial cor
48、rosion irrespective of metallic materials used in the system. Although corrosion is favoured at moderate temperatures, not even the high temperatures in heat exchangers are always sufficient to kill all micro-organisms and some bacteria are thermophiles. Favourable conditions (nutrients, inorganic i
49、ons and organic contaminants, possibly also from some water treatment additives) favour growth of microbiological organisms. Bacterial growth is also favoured by stagnant conditions, especially under deposits, in dead legs or crevices formed during manufacturing operations. Their metabolism produces organic acids, which promote initiation and acceleration of localised corrosion cells. The most well known case is anaerobic bacteria, especially sulphate reducing bacteria, developing under deposits.
