LITHIUM BROMIDE SOLUTION ANALYSIS DATA
For proper performance and
corrosion protection, the Lithium Bromide charge should be analyzed
frequently. Presented below is an example of a
spreadsheet generated from a 12 month collection of analytical reports on a
fictious sample. Notice that no adjustment chemicals have been
specified. However, for an actual sample, the chemical recommendations to
adjust the Lithium Bromide chemistry will be included. The inhibitor
analyzed for a specific sample varies depending upon the absorption
chiller.
To view this data in graphical form go to the ANALYSIS
GRAPHS page. To learn more about the specific chemical
components relating to Lithium Bromide chemistry go to the ANALYSIS INTERPRETATION page.
Note: The data below is
for illustration purposes only. It is not representative of any true analysis.
