Study of the corrosion rate of the paths walls of aluminum heat exchangers in the ethylene glycol antifreezes environment under developed aeration of power fluid

Annotation An experimental and theoretical research work on the corrosion processes of heat exchanger channels made from different aluminum alloys in an ethylene glycol antifreeze environment conducted by the authors is described in the article. The hydrodynamic simulation of the flow in the paths was performed. Significant effects of the aeration of the power fluid, the possibility of electrochemical corrosion are proved. The comparative of anti-corrosion property of different aluminum alloys is shown when operating in a wide range of power fluid velocities and temperatures.
