摘要
A laboratory investigation using a specially designed circulating test rig has been undertaken to study the feasibility of achieving complete cathodic protection of UNS C71500 heat exchanger tubes in sea water applications by means of sacrificial carbon steel anodes. The results have indicated that the galvanic current distribution covered the entire 6m length of the tube. However, the presence of sulphide ions as pollutants in the sea water shifted the galvanic potentials of the tubes to less active potentials and affected the development of the protective films that normally form.
