| Abstract: | The reliability of heat-supply systems is determined primarily by internal corrosion of the pipelines. The concentration of
oxygen in the water exerts a major influence on the corrosion. In systems with a standard oxygen content, OéDF-Zn is a highly
effective corrosion inhibitor. However, there are systems in which the quality of deaeration of the make-up water of the heat-supply
system is low (or deaeration is nonexistent), and the concentration of oxygen is considerably above the standard value. Classed
among these systems, for example, are the HWS systems, which are incorporated into closed heat-supply systems. The oxygen
concentration in these systems is analyzed to assess the situation.
