对各种实验室测试方法进行了详尽和全面的文献检索，以评估全铝微通道换热器和管翅式换热器的性能。回顾了柜式和电化学加速腐蚀试验方法以及不太常见的腐蚀试验，并提供了每组试验方法的属性。文献综述表明，大多数加速腐蚀试验中使用的试验参数，如温度、腐蚀剂浓度和相对湿度，都是有意选择的，以复制最具腐蚀性的环境。这个想法是，如果换热器能在恶劣的腐蚀环境中存活，它就能在较温和的环境中存活。在标准试验方案中，最常用的试验是海水酸加速试验（SWAAT）和铜加速试验- 酸盐雾试验（CASS）。SWAAT似乎在北美和欧洲使用最多，而CASS在日本更受欢迎。目前，还没有包括工作循环等运行参数对热交换器腐蚀影响的测试方法。换热器制造商执行其适当的腐蚀测试协议，这使得各种产品的性能比较不切实际。得出的结论是，过去使用的电化学测试利用了腐蚀电位，这是一个热力学参数，不能提供腐蚀动力学方面的任何见解，因此该参数在HVACR行业中的用途非常有限。新设计的加速腐蚀试验应具有明确定义且可测量的参数，从而对被测系统进行明确表征。 本工作的第二部分将重点介绍ISO 9223标准（金属和合金的腐蚀性——大气腐蚀性——分类、测定和评估）。引用:佛罗里达州奥兰多2020年冬季会议技术论文

An exhaustive and comprehensive literature search wasdone on various laboratory testing methods to assess performanceof all-aluminum microchannel heat exchangers andtube and fin heat exchangers. Cabinet style and electrochemicalaccelerated corrosion testing methods as well as lesscommon corrosion tests are reviewed and attributes of eachgroup of testing methods are provided. Literature reviewrevealed that test parameters used in most accelerated corrosiontests such as temperature, concentration of corrosiveagents, and relative humidity are intentionally selected toduplicated the most aggressive environments. The idea is thatif a heat exchanger can survive harsh corrosive environment,it can survive milder environments. Among the standard testprotocols the tests most used are Sea Water Acid AcceleratedTest (SWAAT)] and Copper Accelerated-Acid Salt Spray Test(CASS). SWAAT appears to be used most in North America andEurope, while CASS is more popular in Japan. Currently, thereis no test method that includes impact of operational parameterssuch as duty cycle on corrosion of heat exchangers. Heatexchanger manufacturers perform their propriety corrosiontest protocols which makes performance comparison of variousproducts impractical. It was concluded that electrochemicaltesting used in the past utilizes corrosion potential that isa thermodynamic parameter and does not provide any insightin the kinetics of corrosion therefore the parameter has a verylimited use for HVACR industry. Newly designed acceleratedcorrosion test should have a well defined and measurableparameter resulting in an unambiguous characterization of thesystem being tested. Part II of this work will focus on ISO 9223standard (Corrosion of metals and alloys - Corrosivity of atmospheres- Classification, determination and estimation).
