Appendix Approved corrosion inhibitors and anti-freeze fluids for central heating water Mixing concentra– tion % by Manufacturer Description Remarks weight With all anti-freeze fluids and corrosion inhibitors, it is extremely important to observe the manufacturer’s recom- mended concentration levels and to check the concentration regularly. In the case of anti-freeze fluids, it should be noted that the efficiency of fluid-to-fluid heat transfer diminishes as the anti-freeze concentration increases.
Appendix Detecting corrosion by CFCs Halogenated hydrocarbons in the combustion air cause surface corrosion of the affected metal components. The combustion chamber and the boiler heating sur- faces (including stainless steel) are particularly suscep- tible to this type of attack as are the metal components in the flue socket, flue joints and the chimney.
