Corrosion protection Oxygen always plays a role if metal materials in a heating system corrode. pH values and the salt content also play a major role. The challenge: A licenced plumber who would like to be able to guarantee his cus- tomers a hot water heating system not at risk of corrosion from oxygen - without the use of chemicals - must pay attention to the following: Correct system design by the heating contractor/planner and...
