摘要:
A corrosion resistance degradation sensor includes a conductive pipe having its inner surface covered with an anticorrosive coating, an electrode placed within a pipe line defined by the conductive pipe such that the electrode is in contact with a pipe line liquid and kept insulated from the conductive pipe, a resistor having its one end connected to the outer surface of the pipe, and an AC power supply having its one terminal connected to a terminal leading from the pipe, and its other terminal connected to a terminal leading from the electrode and the resistor. While preventing damage to the anticorrosive coating and the progress of corrosion of this coating due to factors associated with measurement, the sensor accurately removes the influence of the external environment, and accurately detects degradation of the anticorrosive coating based on a change in frequency dependence of impedance because the current flow path shifts due to degradation of the anticorrosive coating.

A corrosion protection performance degradation detection sensor (7) detects a change in concentration of a corrosion inhibitor, which inhibits corrosion of a corrosion protection object material, added and contained in a solvent. The corrosion protection performance degradation detection sensor (7) includes a detection electrode (1) that reacts with the corrosion inhibitor dissolved in the solvent and forms on a surface thereof an electrode surface film which inhibits corrosion, a counter electrode (2) that is disposed so as to face the detection electrode (1) with a predetermined distance therebetween, and an AC power supply (3) that applies an AC voltage with a predetermined frequency and a predetermined voltage between the detection electrode (1) and the counter electrode (2). A change in concentration of the corrosion inhibitor in the solvent is detected, on the basis of a change in impedance of the electrode surface film formed on the surface of the detection electrode (1) at the time when the AC voltage with the predetermined frequency and the predetermined voltage is applied between the detection electrode 1 and the counter electrode (2).

There is provided a water heater in which scale adhesion to the inner wall of a liquid to-be-heated flowing channel in a heat exchanger that constitutes the water heater is reduced, and lowering of heat transfer performance and obstruction of the flow channel due to the scale adhesion is reduced. By applying pulsation of a liquid to be heated which circulates between a tank (1) and a heat exchanger (3), scale that has been deposited on the inner wall (heat-transfer surface) of a liquid to-be-heated flow channel (31) in a heat exchanger (3) is detached, and the number of times of circulation of the liquid to be heated which circulates between the tank and the heat exchanger is controlled to be three times or less. A distribution control unit (101) pulsates the to-be heated liquid that passes through the liquid to-be-heated flow channel (31) of the heat exchanger (31), and also controls a flow rate of the liquid to-be-heated which passes through the liquid to-be-heated flow channel (31) so that the number of times of circulation indicating the number of times at which the entire volume of the liquid to-be-heated stored in the tank (1) passes through the heat exchanger (3) is three times or less. The number of times of circulation is determined, based on the entire volume of the liquid to-be-heated stored in the tank (1), a boiling time to be taken for the entire volume of the liquid to-be-heated in the tank (1) to reach a predetermined temperature, and the flow rate of the liquid to-be-heated which passes through the liquid to-be-heated flow channel (31).

An anticorrosion performance degradation detection sensor (10) for detecting inclusion of a corrosive factor in a solvent to which a corrosion inhibitor for inhibiting corrosion of an anticorrosion target material is added includes a detection electrode (1), a counter electrode (2), and a power supply (4). The detection electrode (1) reacts with a corrosion inhibitor dissolved in the solvent to form on a surface thereof an electrode surface coating that inhibits corrosion. The counter electrode (2) is disposed to face the detection electrode (1) with a predetermined distance therebetween. The power supply (4) applies an AC voltage with a predetermined frequency between the detection electrode (1) and the counter electrode (2), and performs a voltage operation that promotes decomposition and reformation of the electrode surface coating. The detection electrode (1) detects inclusion of the corrosive factor in the solvent based on a change in an impedance response by the applied AC voltage with the predetermined frequency before and after the voltage operation that promotes decomposition and reformation of the electrode surface coating.

A method for checking a water quality is carried out by a water quality checking device 100 that checks water quality of water flowing through a heat exchanger. In a first process, in a solution, respective values of a calcium ion concentration, a carbonate ion concentration, a hydrogen ion concentration, a water temperature, and a concentration of dissolved ion that reacts with calcium ion, and that produces salt with low solubility are measured. In a second process, based on the measured values of the calcium ion concentration, the carbonate ion concentration, the hydrogen ion concentration and the water temperature, a supersaturation coefficient of calcium carbonate in the solution is calculated. In a third process, by applying the measured concentration value of the dissolved ion that reacts with calcium ion and that produces salt with low solubility, a modified supersaturation coefficient that is corrected from the supersaturation coefficient is calculated. In a fourth process, the water quality is determined based on the modified supersaturation coefficient that has been calculated.
