Abstract
Modern science has developed an electro‐chemical theory which makes it possible to bring to light the various corrosive processes taking place under water or under the influence of humidity, i.e. the conditions that are of particular interest when dealing with boiler plants. Very complex phenomena are often involved, appearing in a variety of circumstances and under different forms. It is not always possible, therefore, to give a precise definition of the type of corrosion implicated.
The problem of eliminating corrosion and scale formation is common to both stationary and marine boilers, but is intensified in the latter by reason of the greater diversity of…
Abstract
The problem of eliminating corrosion and scale formation is common to both stationary and marine boilers, but is intensified in the latter by reason of the greater diversity of chemical impurities present in water in different parts of the world. A boiler compound developed in Denmark operates on principles entirely different from the stœchiometrical balance, which governs the working of purely chemical boiler compounds, and its use provides great elasticity of dosage, which can save both ships' engineers and stationary boiler plant engineers much time and trouble.
