Abstract

The paper refers to the progress which has been made in recent years towards a clear understanding of the causes of the corrosion of brass tubes in condensers. It details experiments in which the problem is attacked by studying both the metal of the tubes, its grain structure, and composition, and also the operating conditions in the condenser. The influence of both on the performance of the tubes is observed.The results recorded are strictly of a practical nature, and represent the data which the author has been able to collect from experience with the 33,000 tubes in use at the Ultimo and White Bay Power Houses, Sydney.In general it is concluded that, while tubes of unsatisfactory mixture and structure have been found, the operating conditions introduce many serious factors, and some experiments are detailed dealing with the influence of temperature, water velocity, and the factor of organic decomposition. The last factor is introduced in this paper, but the account of its further study is reserved for a later joint communication.
