Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of antifreeze, and particularly relates to a metal anti-corrosion antifreeze and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] The heat source tower heat pump system is a set of energy-saving and environmentally friendly green central air-conditioning solution composed of a heat source tower heat pump host, a heat source tower, a special antifreeze (used in winter), a solution automatic detection and adding device, and a remote control device. When cooling in summer, the heat source tower is used as a cooling tower to discharge indoor heat into the air through a fan. When heating in winter, the heat source tower uses antifreeze with a lower freezing point to absorb sensible heat and latent heat in the air, without frosting or defrosting, ensuring a continuous and stable heat source for users. The heat source tower heat pump system has great advantages in efficient cooling and heating, and central heating in the north. The pipelines of the heat source tower heat pump system are mainly made of metal, and metals are prone to corrosion in various environments and conditions, such as oxidation, sulfidation, hydrogenation, etc. These corrosions not only affect the appearance and performance of metals, but may also lead to the damage of equipment or structures. In cold regions, liquids often operate below 0°C and are prone to freezing, which can cause the equipment or system to malfunction. The special antifreeze for the heat source tower heat pump system can not only lower the freezing point of the liquid to prevent freezing, but also exchange heat with the air during winter operation to absorb energy in the air. However, traditional antifreezes often have a corrosive effect on metals, affecting the normal operation of the system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an antifreeze that can both prevent freezing and prevent the corrosion of metal pipelines.
[0003] Patent CN 105255456 A discloses an antifreeze with metal anti-corrosion performance and a preparation method thereof. The raw materials include ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, sodium hydroxide, sodium phosphate, sodium nitrate, sodium silicate, methacrylic acid, dodecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, 2-methylthio benzothiazole, a pH regulator, a dye, sodium stearyl fumarate, and distilled water. It has a low freezing point, a small foam volume, a short defoaming time, and good corrosion resistance. However, since it mainly relies on ethylene glycol to achieve antifreeze, ethylene glycol-based antifreeze has weak volatility, and using it in an open system (such as an open heat source tower system) will cause ethylene glycol to gradually volatilize and lose its antifreeze effect. Patent CN 102040955 B discloses an inhibitory ethylene glycol antifreeze, and the raw materials include glycol compounds, potassium salts, azole compounds, and water-soluble dyes, which can effectively prevent freezing and inhibit bacteria. However, due to the presence of potassium salts, it has a certain corrosive effect on some metals, and the anti-corrosion performance still needs to be improved. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an antifreeze with a low freezing point, strong corrosion resistance, low volatility, and low price. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the existing technical problems, the present invention provides a metal anti-corrosion antifreeze and a preparation method thereof. Through the cooperation of sodium formate, glycerol, PEG-40, sodium laurate, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, chloromethyl cetylate, etc., it not only effectively reduces the freezing point of the antifreeze but also is not easily volatile, is suitable for use in open scenarios such as open heat source tower systems, etc., and effectively improves the metal anti-corrosion performance.
[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: a metal anti-corrosion antifreeze, comprising the following raw materials in parts by weight: 20 - 40 parts of sodium formate, 5 - 10 parts of glycerol, 3 - 6 parts of polyoxyethylene 40 hydrogenated castor oil (PEG-40), 2 - 5 parts of sodium laurate, 8 - 16 parts of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, 10 - 15 parts of chloromethyl cetylate, 4 - 10 parts of pH regulator, and 60 - 90 parts of ultrapure water.
[0006] In this formula, sodium formate has the effect of reducing the freezing point of the antifreeze and plays a major antifreeze role. Although sodium formate corrodes metals severely, in the present invention, the corrosion is reduced through the cooperation of sodium formate with other raw materials in the formula, achieving good anti-corrosion performance. Glycerol is used to increase the viscosity of the antifreeze, help reduce evaporation, and at the same time improve the lubricity of the liquid. Controlling the proportion of glycerol within a suitable range helps to maintain the appropriate viscosity and lubrication performance of the antifreeze, while avoiding excessive viscosity caused by too high a proportion and affecting fluidity. PEG-40 helps to increase the stability and lubricity of the antifreeze. Appropriate addition can improve the dispersibility of the liquid, enabling it to maintain good performance at different temperatures. Sodium laurate, as a surfactant, can help the antifreeze disperse and stabilize better. In addition, it also has an anti-corrosion effect and can play a role in protecting metal components in the antifreeze. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide can improve the lubricity, dispersibility, and anti-foaming performance of the liquid. By adding a limited amount to the antifreeze, it can provide a good lubrication effect, reduce the friction of parts in the system, and extend the service life of the equipment. Chloromethyl cetylate can form a hydrophobic layer on the metal surface, reducing the penetration of water and oxygen, thereby reducing the corrosion risk. The pH regulator is used to control the pH value of the antifreeze. Controlling the pH value is crucial for the stability of the antifreeze, especially to avoid metal corrosion caused by the liquid being too acidic or too alkaline. The proportion of ultrapure water is relatively large, which is used to dilute other components and ensure the uniformity of the liquid, guaranteeing the fluidity and wide temperature adaptability of the antifreeze.

[0010] Preferably, when the minimum application temperature of the metal anti-corrosion antifreeze is -10°C, it comprises the following raw materials by weight: 15 parts of sodium formate, 6 parts of glycerol, 6 parts of polyoxyethylene 40 hydrogenated castor oil (PEG-40), 4 parts of sodium laurate, 13 parts of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, 10 parts of chloromethyl hexadecanoate, 5 parts of pH regulator, and 85 parts of ultrapure water.
[0011] Preferably, the pH regulator comprises sodium citrate and citric acid in a mass ratio of 1:3.

[0044] Cast iron sheets, copper sheets, and galvanized steel plates were placed in the liquids prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 for testing the metal corrosion rate at room temperature (the testing method is a prior art), and the test results are shown in Table 1 and Figures 1-3 as follows.
[0045] Table 1 Metal corrosion rates of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2 From Table 1 and Figure 1 it can be seen that the formate aqueous solution in Comparative Example 2 has the highest corrosion rate for cast iron, while Example 1 has the lowest corrosion rate for cast iron. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the anti-corrosion performance of Example 1 for cast iron is improved by 48%. The antifreeze of Example 1 significantly improves the anti-corrosion property of cast iron.
[0046] From Table 1 and Figure 2 it can be seen that the formate aqueous solution in Comparative Example 2 has the highest corrosion rate for copper, while Example 1 has the lowest corrosion rate for copper. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the anti-corrosion performance of Example 1 for copper is improved by 41%. The antifreeze of Example 1 significantly improves the anti-corrosion property of copper.
[0047] From Table 1 and Figure 3 it can be seen that the formate aqueous solution in Comparative Example 2 has the highest corrosion rate for galvanized steel plate, and pitting corrosion has occurred, while Example 1 has the lowest corrosion rate for galvanized steel plate, and there is still a protective film on the surface of the galvanized steel plate. The antifreeze of Example 1 significantly improves the anti-corrosion property of galvanized steel plate.
[0048] Based on the above experimental results, it can be seen that Example 1 can be used as the antifreeze for the heat source tower heat pump system, effectively improving the metal anti-corrosion property of the heat source tower heat pump system. Freezing point test of antifreeze
[0049] The freezing point tests of Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 were carried out on the antifreeze. The freezing point test of the antifreeze mainly uses a freezing point detector. The samples of Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 were first loaded into test tubes, and then the test tubes were placed in the constant temperature bath of the freezing point detector. The constant temperature bath uses cooling media such as water or air to cool the test tubes. When the temperature of the sample in the test tube drops to the freezing point, the sample begins to freeze, and at the same time, the test tube wall also begins to release the latent heat of crystallization. At this time, the thermometer of the freezing point detector can sense the temperature change in the constant temperature bath and record the freezing point temperature of the sample. The freezing point test results of Example 1, Example 2, and Comparative Example 3 are as Figure 4 follows.
[0050] In Example 1, the mass ratio w of sodium formate to the total mass of sodium formate and ultrapure water is w = 20 / (20 + 80) = 20%. In Example 2, the mass ratio w of sodium formate to the total mass of sodium formate and ultrapure water is w = 15 / (15 + 85) = 15%. In Comparative Example 3, the mass ratio w of sodium formate to the total mass of sodium formate and ultrapure water is w = 10 / (10 + 90) = 10%. From Figure 4 it can be seen that for Example 1, w is 20%, the freezing point of the antifreeze is -15.183 °C, and the actual minimum application temperature of the antifreeze is specified as -15 °C; for Example 2, w is 15%, the freezing point of the antifreeze is -10.433 °C, and the actual minimum application temperature of the antifreeze is specified as -10 °C; for Comparative Example 3, w is 10%, the freezing point of the antifreeze is -6.536 °C, and the actual minimum application temperature of the antifreeze is specified as -6 °C. Fitting the w and the antifreeze freezing point data, the fitting results are shown in Figure 5 , the freezing point has a linear relationship with w. The freezing point of the antifreeze is also the minimum application temperature T of the antifreeze, T == -86.47w + 2.2532. It can be seen that the higher the value of w, the lower the freezing point of the antifreeze, and the lower the minimum application temperature T of the antifreeze.
