Definitions

  • This invention relates to absorption refrigeration machinery and more particularly, it relates to the inhibition of corrosion in an absorption refrigeration machine of the type which is subject to corrosion of metal surfaces of the machine due to corrosion reactions which take place within the machine.
  • absorption refrigeration machines can be broadly considered as heat operated equipment, it will be readily appreciated that they can be conveniently used in many applications where a source of steam or hot water, or combustible gas, is readily available to operate the equipment.
  • cuprous oxide may be further oxidized by oxygen from air leakage into the system to form an insoluble cupric oxide sludge.
  • This process is undesirable not only because it removes copper from the heat exchange tubes causing them to eventually fail, but also because the insoluble sludge which is formed may foul pump bearings, pump seals or other parts of the refrigeration equipment.
  • cuprous oxide may react with iron containing metal surfaces in the machine to form an insoluble oxide of iron, while plating out the copper on the iron surface, thereby corroding the iron and structurally weakening the refrigeration machine.
  • Iron containing metal surfaces give up electrons to hydrogen ions provided by the water in the absorbent solution, which results in iron ions going into solution and hydrogen gas being produced.
  • the hydrogen gas interferes with proper operation of the absorption machine by blanketing the absorber tubes with gas.
  • the hydrogen gas also forms a barrier layer over the absorbent solution and prevents absorption of refrigerant. This materially reduces the rate at which refrigerant vapor is absorbed by the absorbent solution, lessening the refrigeration capacity of the machine.
  • the absorbent solution is likely to crystallize, both because of super cooling in the absorber and because of over-concentration in the generator.
  • the loss of iron from the iron containing metal surfaces by this electrochemical reaction represents highly undesirable corrosion, which may cause structural failure of the part being attacked.
  • the size and cost of an absorption refrigeration machine is directly related to the temperature at which the generator may be operated, and it is desirable to operate the generator at as high a temperature as possible in order to obtain maximum capacity from a given size machine. Consequently, various other inhibitors such as chromate, nitrate and molybdate compounds have been tried in addition to lithium hydroxide in order to reduce the corrosion rate in absorption refrigeration machines. These inhibitors have proved fairly satisfactory at temperatures below 250 F., but have proved largely ineffective at high temperatures, particularly where oxygen has been present in the machine. Since steam temperatures well in excess of 250 are commonly available from desired steam sources and because direct fired absorption refrigeration machines are likely to have localized hot spots in various regions of the generator in excess of this temperature, these inhibitors have not proved wholly satisfactory in high temperature commercial absorption refrigeration machines.
  • an absorption refrigeration machine utilizing an absorbent solution, such as lithium bromide and Water with a suitable antimonial material in the absorbent solution, so that metal surfaces, such as steel, within the machine, which are subject to corrosion when in contact with the absorbent solution will develop a corrosion inhibiting antimonial coating thereon.
  • an absorbent solution such as lithium bromide and Water with a suitable antimonial material in the absorbent solution
  • an absorpton refrigeration machine may be suitably inhibited by precoating certain parts thereof which are in contact with the absorbent solution with an antimonial coating or by alloying or incorporating antimony ietal in such parts, because of the unexpected property of the inhibitor in migrating from the inhibited parts to uninhibited parts in contact with the solution.
  • an absorption refrigeration machine containing an absorbent solution such as lithium bromide having lithium hydroxide in it may be suitably inhibited by merely placing a quantity of antimony metal into the absorption refrigeration machine at a point where it may be contacted by the absorbent solution.
  • the inhibitor described has greatly superior corrosion inhibiting properties compared with known inhibitors when used under comparable conditions of high temperature and in the presence of oxygen. For example, satisfactory corrosion inhibition of iron containing metal surfaces has been observed to exist at relatively high temperatures even in the presence of oxygen by utilizing the inhibitor and method described.
  • the figure is a diagrammatic cross-sectional view through an absorption refrigeration machine having metal surfaces inhibited in accordance with this invention.
  • a typical absorption refri eration machine comprising an absorber section within a shell Ill.
  • a plurality of heat exchange tubes 12 are provided within the absorber section.
  • a purge line 13 leads from a suitable region of the absorber and serves to conduct noncondensible gases therefrom to a suitable purge unit 76.
  • a spray header 14 is located above the absorber section.
  • an evaporator section 15 comprising a pan-like member 16 within which is disposed a plurality of heat exchange tubes 17.
  • a spray header 18 is located above heat exchange tubes 17 for distributing refrigerant thereover.
  • a plurality of eliminators 19 are provided to prevent entrained liquid refrigerant particles being carried from evaporator section 15 to absorber section 10.
  • Evaporator section 15 is in open communication with absorber section lit through eliminators 19.
  • a suitable refrigerant is sprayed over tubes 17 in evaporator section 15 and a suitable absorbent solution is sprayed over tubes 12 in absorber section It). Consequently, refrigerant is vaporized in evaporator section 15 and passes through the eliminators into absorber section it where the refrigerant vapor is absorbed by the absorbent solution.
  • the vaporization of the refrigerant in evaporator section 15 extracts heat from the fluid passing through heat exchange tubes 17 and this heat is carried with the vapor into absorber section it where it is given up to a cooling fluid passing through heat exchange tubes 12.
  • the evaporation of refrigerant in evaporator section 15 produces a cooling or refrigeration effect on the fluid passing through heat exchange tubes 17.
  • Line 21 is connected to pump 22 and serves to circulate absorbent solution of intermediate strength accumulated in the lower portion of absorber section It ⁇ through line 2-3 to spray header 14 in order to recirculate absorbent solution in the absorber.
  • a line 24 leads from a lower portion of absorber section 1% containing weak solution and pump 25 serves to pass the weak solution through line 26 and solution heat exchanger 27 through line 23 to generator section 30.
  • strong solution refers to an absorbent solution strong in absorbing power
  • weak solution refers to absorbent solution weak in absorbing power
  • intermediate strength solution refers to a solution having a concentration intermediate that of strong solution and weak solution.
  • a suitable absorbent for a refrigeration system of the type described comprises a hygroscopic aqueous salt solution such as lithium bromide and water.
  • concentration of the strong solution leaving the generator may be about 65%.
  • a suitable refrigerant is water.
  • absorbent solution in absorber section ltt dilutes the absorbent solution and diminishes the refrigerant supply. In order to maintain the refrigeration machine in operation, it is necessary to concentrate this week solution by separating it from the absorbed refrigerant.
  • a generator section 30 and a condenser section 32 are provided.
  • Generator section 30 is located in shell 34 and comprises a plurality of heat exchange tubes 31 for passing steam or other heating fluid. Also located within shell 34 is condenser section 32 comprising a pan-like member 35 within which is disposed a plurality of heat exchange tubes 33 for passing cooling water. Eliminators 36 are provided to prevent strong solution from being entrained in refrigerant vapor passed from generator section 3%) to condenser section 32.
  • a line 37 leads from pan-like member 35 to evaporator section 15 and serves to return condensed refrigerant from the condenser section to the evaporator section.
  • Line 38 extends from generator section 30 through solution heat exchanger'27 to absorber section 10 and serves to return reiatively hot, strong absorbent solution from the generator section to the absorber section while passing it in heat exchange relation with relatively cool, weak solution being forwarded to the generator for concentration thereof.
  • a bypass line 39 and bypass valve 40 having a suitable actuator mechanism may be provided for capacity control of the refrigeration system.
  • a steam inlet line 41 and outlet line 42 having suitable steam trap 43 is provided to admit steam to heat exchange tubes 31 in order to boil off refrigerant vapor from weak solution supplied to the generator, in order to concentrate the weak solution. It will be understood that the vaporized refrigerant passes through eliminators 36 and is condensed in condenser 32.
  • a cooling water inlet line 44 is connected to heat exchange tubes 12 in absorber section from which the cooling water passes through line 45 to heat exchange tubes 33 in the condenser section.
  • the cooling water is then discharged through line 46 and appropriate bypass line and valve 47 may be provided to bypass cooling water around the condenser section, if desired.
  • the cooling water serves to remove the heat of dilution and condensation from the absorbent solution in absorber section 10 and serves to remove the heat of vaporization to condense refrigerant vapor in condenser section 32.
  • a suitable recirculation line 48 and recirculation pump 49 pass refrigerant from pan 16 of the evaporator section through line St to spray header 18 so that refrigerant may be sprayed over heat exchange tubes 17 to wet them and aid in evaporation of the refrigerant and cooling of heat exchange tubes 17.
  • Lines 52 and 53 are provided to conduct a heat exchange fluid, such as water, through heat exchange tubes 17 to cool the fluid by the resulting heat exchange with the cooled refrigerant in evaporator 15. This cooled heat exchange fluid is then passed to suitable remotely located heat exchangers to provide cooling in the desired areas.
  • Tubes 12 and 31 as well as tubes 17 and 33 are typically composed -of copper or a copper containing alloy, such as cupro nickel.
  • Shells 11 and 34, as well as the tube sheets into which the various heat exchange tubes are secured, and pans 35 and 16 are typically composed of a ferrous or iron containing alloy such as steel.
  • Heat exchanger 27 is commonly a steel shell having tubes composed of steel therein.
  • the temperature in generator 30 and line 38 under high refrigeration load operating conditions may at times exceed 250-300 F. due to steam or hot water passed through lines 41 and 42. It is apparent, therefore, that corrosion may take place in generator section 39 or heat exchanger 2'7, or in line 38, which is frequently a steel tube, as well as in other parts of the refrigeration system because of the high temperatures to which these parts are subjected.
  • generator 30 may be of the direct fired type wherein heat exchange tubes 31 are exposed directly to a high temperature gas flame on their interior, in which corrosion of these tubes may be greatly accelerated
  • an absorption machine of the type described which utilizes an aqueous solution of lithium bromide as an absorbent medium
  • Lithium hydroxide may be desirably added to the absorbent solution to the extent of from about 0.2 gram to about 4.0 grams of lithium hydroxide per kilogram of lithium bromide salt.
  • a typical 54% absorbent solution of the type described may preferably be rendered thereby approximately .1 normal in order to reduce the corrosion rate.
  • the actual concentration of such a solution during operation of the machine is typically greater than 54%, but this concentration represents a suitable solution for initial charging of the machine and normality (gram equivalent weight per liter) may be related to this concentration by expressing the normality of the solution in terms of what it lsiVOld be if the solution were diluted or concentrated to As previously described, however, while the addition of lithium hydroxide to the absorbent solution reduces the rate of corrosion, the corrosion rate may still be excessive at desirable operating temperatures. It has been the absorbent solution, iron containing'metal surfaces and copper containing metal surfaces in contact with the ab- TABLE I Average Inhibitor Tempera- Weight ture, F. Change,
  • each of the steel samples in the inhibited solution had a bright surface coating which, under analysis, proved to contain a substantial quantity of antimony. Bending these samples showed that the surface coating did not tend to crack, thereby indicating that the coating formed was ductile and highly tenacious.
  • Table II shows the effect of similar tests performed in the presence of air in aqueous lithium bromide solutions with the omission of lithium hydroxide. It will be observed that extremely severe corrosion rates in excess of 1000 milligrams per square decimeter per day result when no lithium hydroxide is present in solution, but that by the mere addition of antimony metal to the solution, a very substantial reduction in corrosion rate is observed.
  • Table III tabulates tests conducted at high temperatures where only a small amount of air was present.
  • the test vessels were sealed and in all cases the concentration of lithium bromide in the solution was approximately 65% and lithium hydroxide was added in an amount sufficient to render the solution 0.1 normal (related to 54% solution) which corresponds to a typical concentration in a generator of a high temperature absorption refrigeration machine. It will be observed from the table that very substantially smaller corrosion rates or actual weight gains were observed by the addition of the antimonial materials listed, even at temperatures as high as 390 F. compared to the relatively high corrosion rate where only lithium bromide and lithium hydroxide were present at a lower temperature of 300.
  • the antimonial coatings formed on the surface of the steel samples in the foregoing tests exhibited the unexpected property of migrating to uninhibited steel specimens.
  • various samples of the inhibited steel surfaces having an antimonial coating thereon from the previous tests were placed in an uninhibited solution of lithium bromide having a concentration of about 65%, which was rendered 0.1 normal related to 54% solution with lithium hydroxide.
  • Other samples of uninhibited steel were also placed in the same solution and the solution boiled at atmospheric pressure in the presence of oxygen.
  • This migration of inhibitor is a particularly desirable property in an absorption refrigeration machine since it indicated that, should the coating for any reason be removed on a surface in contact with the absorbent solution which is subject to corrosion, or in the case that the inhibitor becomes used up during operation of the machine, that some migration of the inhibitor will take place to protect uninhibited parts subject to corrosion.
  • the antimonial coating possesses the property of migrating to uninhibited parts, it is possible to precoat certain parts in an absorption refrigeration machine with a layer of the antimonial coating, and during operation of the machine, other parts subject to corrosion will be inhibited by migration of the antimonial coating to the uninhibited portions.
  • antimony metal or other antimonious material may be incorporated in or alloyed with metals used in the absorption refrigeration machine, as well as coated on them to provide the desired corrosion inhibition both on the surface of the parts themselves as well as other metal surfaces in the machine. It has also been observed that a corrosion inhibiting antimonial coating is formed on copper containing surfaces when copper containing metals are present in a similar lithium bromide and lithium hydroxide absorbent solution containing an antimonial material which is in contact with both the copper containing metal and ferrous metal surfaces such as steel.
  • the mechanism of the corrosion inhibition herein described may possibly be explained by considering that a piece of antimony metal, antimonial material, or an otherwise antimonially inhibited part in an absorption refrigeration machine may react with lithium hydroxide in the lithium bromide solution forming lithium antimonite.
  • the lithium antimonite may be further oxidized by oxygen present in the machine or react with lithium hydroxide to form lithium antimonate, which in turn reacts on the surface of the various metal parts in contact with the absorbent solution, providing an antimonial i.e. antimony containing coating. Consequently, the inhibitor, when added in this form, may serve to not only inhibit the metal parts of the machine by forming a coating on them, but may scavenge oxygen which is present in the machine which would otherwise cause corrosion of these parts.
  • an antimonial materal such as antimony, antimony trioxide, antimony pentoxide, antimony tetroxide, lithium antimonite, or lithium antimonate into the machine at a point at which it will contact absorbent solution. This may be done by either adding the antimonial material directly to the absorbent solution either in solid or dissolved liquid form, or it may be done by. precoating a part of the machine with the reaction product of an antimonial material and lithium hydroxide.
  • a part of the machine may be made of antimony metal or a quantity of antimony metal may be added to the machine in solid form at some convenient place, such as the purge unit, wherein it contacts absorbent solution.
  • the antimonial material then dissolves in the absorbent solution and is carried by the solution to other portions of the machine in contact with the solution thereby forming the desired antimcnial coating on those parts.
  • antimony metal may be incorporated into or alloyed with a part of the machine such as the heat exchange tubes, which can be, for example, an alloy of copper, nickel and antimony, or the tubes may have a coating of an antimonial material on their surface to provide the desired result.
  • the heat exchange tubes which can be, for example, an alloy of copper, nickel and antimony, or the tubes may have a coating of an antimonial material on their surface to provide the desired result.
  • An alloy of copper and nickel containing less than about 2% antimony is satisfactory for this purpose.
  • the antimonial coatings or alloys described herein possess the unique and highly desirable advantage of being themselves corrosion resistant, while at the same time having the property of tending to inhibit those metal portions of the absorption refrigeration machine which are subject to corrosion by being in contact with absorbent solution.
  • an antimonial coating or alloy which imparts superior corrosion resistant properties at relatively high temperatures even when substantial oxygen is present in the system to cause oxidation of the metal surfaces.
  • both of these metals can be inhibited by the practice of this invention.
