Title: Development of the dual-cycle absorption heat pump for residential application. Appendix B: Analysis of materials compatibility and corrosion for dual-cycle absorption heat pump. Final report, April 1984-March 1990

Abstract

Engineering alloys were analyzed in an effort to identify corrosion resistant materials for the absorption heat pump (AHP). Testing focused on the corrosion behavior of carbon steels and austentic stainless steels Types 304 and 316L. Most of the tests were conducted in lithium bromide solutions at various temperatures under non-flowing or static conditions. Failures due to corrosion in prototype AHP units were investigated as they occurred. A literature review was performed on the corrosion behavior of materials in lithium bromide, ammonia water, and calcium chloride environments. Material recommendations and heat treating procedures are discussed.
