Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of heat pump testing equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a device for testing the corrosion resistance of antifreeze to metal components of a heat pump. Background Technology

[0002] Air source heat pump heating systems are widely used in cold regions due to their energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics. To cope with low-temperature environments, the system needs to be filled with a special antifreeze to prevent pipes from freezing and cracking, ensuring stable operation in winter. This type of antifreeze needs to circulate within the system for extended periods, continuously contacting various metal components such as copper, aluminum, and iron. The corrosion resistance of these metal components directly affects the service life and operational safety of the heat pump system; therefore, accurate testing of the antifreeze's corrosion resistance is crucial. The test must simulate the actual operating temperature range, fluid flow rate, and multi-metal coexistence environment of the heat pump to ensure that the test results accurately reflect the antifreeze's performance under real-world conditions, providing a reliable basis for antifreeze selection and improvement.

[0003] Based on the above, air source heat pump heating systems require specialized antifreeze to prevent low-temperature freezing and cracking. However, long-term circulation of the antifreeze may corrode metal components such as copper, aluminum, and iron, affecting equipment lifespan and safety. Existing testing devices have limitations, such as primarily testing single metal samples, lacking dynamic cyclic simulation, and having insufficient corrosion monitoring accuracy. Therefore, it is necessary to design a corrosion resistance testing device that can simulate real operating environments, accommodate multi-metal sample testing, and provide accurate monitoring.
