■ 3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Risycor corrosion monitor is a patented measuring
instrument that monitors the sustainability 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 paves the way for a much longer service life of your heating
and cooling system, improved living comfort, fewer unwanted costs
and significant savings of energy and raw materials.
The corrosion monitor consists of two components: a probe and
a logger. Using the threaded connector, the probe is mounted
perpendicular to the pipe whereby the metal coupon at the tip of
the probe is located in the water flow. The oxidation of this coupon
is representative of the uniform corrosion within the system. The
logger records the corrosion rate against time, and warns in case of
inadmissible values or a defect. The memory can be read out with a
computer.
