This template analyzed the refrigerator condenser copper tube TP2 corrosion failure reason and compared the corrosion resistant performance of copper tube TP2, brass tube HSn70-1 and Cu-Ni tube B10. Copper tube corrosion is mainly caused by high concentrations of chloride, dirt and water scouring accelerated the corrosion process. The corrosion resistant performance of three copper tube is close to and unsuitable for the cooling water of the high salt content. A better corrosion resistance of stainless steel tube should be used as the replacement and needs to keep the purity of the heat exchange tube. For cooling water which easily causes fouling, the inside tubes should be smooth.
