; ; ;
Two pot boiler tests were conducted to identify potential corrosion concerns of long term low-level condenser inleakage of seawater, and of pH adjusted fresh water simulating cooling tower operation. The seawater test was operated within a bulk chloride range of 0.05 to 0.1 ppM (less than 7 ..mu..hos/cm specific conductivity) for 390 steaming days; 31.0 ppM chloride days. The pH adjusted fresh water test operated within a specific conductivity range of 5 to 7 ..mu..mhos/cm for 249 days, accumulating 96.9 ppM chloride days. Chloride concentrations were generally within the concentration range of 0.05 to 0.20 ppM, while sulfate levels varied within the range of 0.05 to 0.15 ppM. During the long term seawater test, carbon and ferritic stainless steel support materials did not undergo accelerated corrosion.
