Tests have been carried out on a model rotary air heater in an attempt to study, on a laboratory scale, corrosion phenomena under conditions similar to those experienced in industrial practice.
The acid dew-point of the combustion gases used varied from 240 to 320 F and maximum corrosion occurred at surface temperatures within the range 215-240 F. The results confirm previous conclusions as to the influence of the acid dew-point and of the sulfur trioxide content of the gases on corrosion.
