In the industrial heat transfer and district heating sectors, advanced deoxygenation and water softening technologies are not always fully implemented due to limitations in management, technical capabilities, and financial resources. As a result, the dissolved oxygen content in heating water frequently exceeds safe standards, leading to severe finned tube oxygen corrosion. Once corrosion takes hold, it severely degrades heat transfer efficiency and can cause tube leaks. Finding practical, cost-effective solutions to prevent finned tube corrosion in oxygen-rich media is crucial for extending equipment lifespan.
Based on current operational challenges, facility managers and engineers can implement the following five strategies to systematically mitigate oxygen corrosion in finned tube heat exchangers:
