In all our activities, we follow a special three-part guide for water heating systems, which is developed by the German Association of Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure) in 2009. It describes the authoritative guidelines in Europe for prevention of damage in water-based heating systems.
The likelihood of corrosion damage is limited when the following parameters are met
Proper planning and commissioning
Proper sealing of the system from oxygen entry
Proper design of the pressure control system
Routine maintenance
Correct heating water characteristics
According to the standard, high-quality heating water has the following characteristics:
- Low electrical conductivity (<100 μS / cm)
- Low oxygen content (<0.1 mg / l)
- pH between 8.2 and 10.0 *
* For aluminum components 6.5 - 8.5.
