■ 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3.1 RISYCOR

The Risycor corrosion monitor is a patented measuring instrument
that monitors the durability of your heating and cooling installation
in a reliable manner by providing timely warning of corrosion (the
formation of rust), and therefore also of the particularly harmful effects
that may be caused by corrosion.
The corrosion monitor therefore prevents unwanted problems, such
as the breakdown of boilers and pumps, blocked valves, leaks and
blockages caused by poor water quality. The corrosion monitor
thereby ensures a much longer service life of your heating system,
improved living comfort, fewer unwanted costs, and significant savings
of energy and materials.
The corrosion monitor (logger-probe combination) is mounted in
the line with a flow-through lockshield valve device, whereby the
metal coupon on the tip of the probe is located in the water flow. The
oxidation of this coupon (small piece of metal) is representative of the
uniform corrosion within the system. The logger registers the corrosion
rate over time, and gives a warning in case of impermissible values or a
malfunction. The memory can be read out by a computer.
The Zerofix lockshield valve device, with a connection for an
expansion vessel and drain valve, is installed in the return line. The
lockshield valve function with drain valve makes it possible to empty
the expansion vessel in order to check the inflation pressure, and to
correct if required.
