Abstract
Currently, the ALBA Synchrotron Light Source is carrying out studies on corrosion in copper components of the deionized water cooling circuit. The preliminary studies, based on Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) have shown the presence of intergranular, pitting, and generalized corrosion in the analyzed copper samples. The purpose of this paper is to present new advances in the field of this research, such as: the study of the influence of low velocity water flow in the cooling circuit on the current high dissolved oxygen content (> 6500 ppb), the results of corrosion products found in the cooling circuit, the description of the improper operation of the cooling circuit as a closed loop, and FEA studies of copper components in order to redefine the water flow velocity design criteria to values lower than 3 m/s and thus minimize corrosion by erosion. Finally, in order to attenuate the corrosion rate, preventive solutions are presented such as the viability to install an oxygen content degassing plant, new instrumentation for water quality monitorization, and installation of degassing equipment at strategic positions of the cooling circuit.
