Corrosion is a long-standing problem for HVAC professionals that can lead to serious breakdowns, especially in the data centre where 24/7 availability is essential. It is beneficial to understand how to protect your equipment and avoid costly failures.

The right choice of corrosion protection can help to significantly extend the operational life of a cooling system. Understanding the various corrosion protection measures for air cooled exchangers, as well as the corrosive processes that take place in a chilled water circuit, serve as the basis for a proactive maintenance strategy. If a heat exchanger leaks due to corrosive processes, it can lead to a failure of the installation, therefore corrosion has a significant, as well as negative, impact on efficiency and availability.
