ABSTRACT:
A device for creating a corrosive condition and monitoring that condition, adapted for use in active fluid heat exchangers, has a sealed tube having corrosion sites spaced apart on its exterior. Structure positioned on the outside of the tube at the corrosion sites provide crevices for retaining corrosive sludges in contact with the corrosion sites. The interior of the tube is pressurized with a gas to stress the tube thereby accelerating corrosion of the surface. Heat is provided to the corrosion sites from within the tube when placed within a fluid reservoir, such as the secondary side of a fluid heat exchanger. The heat concentrates corrosive chemicals at the corrosion sites, also accelerating corrosion. Electronic probes can be mounted in proximity to the corrosion sites for real time monitoring of the progress of corrosion.
