• At the heart of many large-scale air conditioning systems is a heat exchanger that’s full of hundreds of tubes used to regulate temperature. As you might imagine, inspecting all these tubes for corrosion can be a difficult task.
• Heat exchangers are common; they’re used in both heating and cooling in power plants, chemical plants, refineries, sewage treatment plants, and many other places. The tubes inside the heat exchanger are regularly inspected to look for wall loss or other types of corrosion that could cause the exchanger to fail, potentially causing extensive damage.
