- Abstract
- This study was undertaken to evaluate a proposed ASTM simulated service test methodology to evaluate corrosion or heat transfer liquid degradation. The responses of aluminum, copper, and stainless steel to conditions simulating flow and stagnation in solar collector systems were evaluated. The chemical stabilities of ethylene and propylene glycol solutions at elevated temperature were also examined.
