Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal corrosion and electrochemical testing, in particular to a metal corrosion electrochemical testing system for a refrigerator refrigeration system. Background Art

[0002] The refrigeration principle of the refrigerator is based on the heat absorption when the refrigerant vaporizes from liquid to gas and the heat release when the gas liquefies to liquid. The compressor compresses the refrigerant into high-temperature and high-pressure superheated steam and discharges it into the condenser. The condenser dissipates the heat and cools the refrigerant steam into the air and turns it into a high-temperature and medium-pressure liquid. The high-pressure liquid passes through the capillary throttling, causing the pressure to drop sharply and enter the evaporator. The refrigerant that has passed the capillary throttling expands, boils, and absorbs heat in the evaporator to achieve refrigeration. Under normal working conditions of the refrigerator, the temperature of the condenser can be 50℃~60℃, and the temperature of the evaporator can reach -25℃, which is far from the ambient temperature of the normal use of the refrigerator. Therefore, there is a temperature difference between the inside and outside of the refrigeration pipe. In addition, the state of the refrigerant in the pipe is changeable, and the corrosion environment is very complex, which requires high corrosion resistance of the material. Usually, the pipes used for refrigeration parts are copper pipes, aluminum pipes, steel pipes, etc. Although the material itself has certain corrosion resistance, there are many corrosion influencing factors, and the various corrosion influencing factors affect and promote each other, resulting in a certain corrosion risk of the material.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a metal corrosion electrochemical testing system for refrigerator refrigeration systems to achieve accurate measurement of the electrochemical corrosion information of refrigeration parts under working conditions. Utility Model Content
