Brine cooling systems: why chloride attacks the loop, and how to control it
Calcium chloride brine is efficient and severely corrosive. Compare it with modern secondary coolants at the same freezing point, and see how inhibitor programmes work.
Additives
An additive for calcium chloride and sodium chloride secondary-refrigeration systems, developed to reduce chloride-related corrosion of metal components.
