Research into the effect of corrosion on damaged thermal power plant equipment

The research was conducted at several power plants where defects of boiler exchangers were detected. The analysis of damages on fire tubes and exchangers were performed considering selected materials and influence of different types of corrosion. Critical areas on both the side of flue gasses and the side of water/steam working fluid were considered. A series of tests on damaged tubes made of various materials and exposed to corrosion processes were also carried out. Based on those tests and analysis of results some insights into the matter were gained and proposed for repair of damaged power plants.
