Für die korrosionsmindernden Beschichtungen können mit Vorteil die Schichtdicken des eloxierten Aluminiummaterials mindestens 10 µm und bei chemisch vernickeltem Stahlmaterial, wobei der Phosphorgehalt in der Beschichtung mindestens 10 % aufweist, mindestens 10 µm betragen.For the corrosion-reducing coatings, the layer thicknesses of the anodized aluminum material can advantageously be at least 10 μm and in the case of chemically nickel-plated steel material, the phosphorus content in the coating being at least 10%, being at least 10 μm .
Claims (4)
- Device with at least two components (2, 4, 6, 8), of which at least one component (2, 4, 6, 8) is at least partially exposed to an aqueous fluid, such as an HFC-Fluid, and can be fixed in a housing (2) as an additional component, wherein- one component (4, 6, 8) made from steel material, which is in contact both with the fluid and with the ambient air or nitrogen (Fig. 1), is chemically nickel-plated;- one component (2, 4, 6, 8) made from steel material, which is completely in contact with the fluid, is in particular installed statically and comprises gaps (7), particularly measuring < 0.5 mm, or seals (5) between it and the adjacent component (4, 6), is coated with zinc phosphate;- one component (4, 6) made from steel material, which is completely in contact with the fluid and is completely surrounded by the fluid in an operating state, is left uncoated; and- one component (2) made from aluminium material is anodised,characterised
in that at least one valve (4, 6, 8) is installed as a component in a valve block (2) as the additional component;
in that the valve block (2) is made from an aluminium material and is anodised on its outer side facing the environment;
in that, on surfaces of the components (2, 4, 6, 8) having an electrical potential difference between a gap and an outer gap region and using sealing elements (30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40) to seal the gap from the outer gap region, the following measures are proposed to avoid crevice corrosion for the respective component (2, 4, 6, 8):- anodising aluminium material,- chemically nickel-plating steel material, the phosphorus content in the coating amounting to at least 10%, or- using stainless steel;in that, on surfaces of the components (2, 4, 6, 8) that do not have an electrical potential difference between a gap and an outer gap region, between which there is no fluid exchange, and with groove runs in the respective component (2, 4, 6, 8), which seal two adjacent fluid chambers with the fluid against one another, and with at least one component (2, 4, 6, 8) which is arranged such that it is stationary or has only limited mobility, the following measures are proposed to avoid crevice corrosion for the respective valve component (2, 4, 6, 8):- anodising aluminium material and- using steel material with a zinc phosphate coating; andin that, on surfaces of the components (4, 6, 8) having an electrical potential difference between gap and outer gap region, when fluid is exchanged between the gap and the outer region and with groove runs in at least one component (4, 6, 8), which seal two adjacent fluid chambers against one another, and with at least one movable component (22, 24, 26, 28), the following measures are proposed to avoid crevice corrosion for the respective component (4, 6, 8):- leaving the aluminium material uncoated and- leaving the steel material uncoated. - Device according to claim 1, characterised in that, on surfaces of the components (2, 4, 6, 8) that are completely surrounded by the fluid, the following measures are proposed to avoid surface corrosion for the respective component (2, 4, 6, 8):- leaving the aluminium material uncoated or anodising the aluminium material, and- leaving the steel material uncoated, or coating with zinc phosphate or nickel plating;- using stainless steel material.
- Valve device according to either claim 1 or claim 2, characterised in that, to prevent contact corrosion, the surface area of the valve block (2) as the additional component is selected such that it is larger than the surface areas of the components (4, 6, 8) used in the valve block (2) in the region where they engage in the valve block (2).
- Device according to any one of the preceding claims, characterised in that the coating thickness- of the anodised aluminium material is at least 10 µm;- of the chemically nickel-plated steel material is at least 10 µm; and- of the zinc phosphate-coated steel material is approximately 5 µm.
