There is a storage tank for condensed water at 100 Degree C. Some poeple beleive that it is necessary to apply a special coating such as Epoxy /Rubber lining to prevent corrosion.I myself beleive it is not necessary but I am looking for References/Articles to approve it. please send your answers to the following E-mails: fadaeisalarvand@razip.com hassan@razip.com

Faraji: If the tank is carbon steel, and if the water contains oxygen and if the tank breathes so that the oxygen is replenished, you will get corrosion of the carbon steel at 100C, especially at the water/air interface. Hope this helps! David Hendrix The Hendrix Group Inc.

faraji, This tank sounds like it is used for returned condensate from a steam distribution system....Is that true ? If so, please be aware that this type of service ( commonly called a condensate return system) is very prone to corrosion failures. In the USA, such a system is typically constructed from Cast iron or heavy walled carbon steel....stainless steel tanks also have been successfully used for these receivers. I have been involved with a a long, detailed search for successful coatings on this type of tank/receiver......The problem, of course, is one of thermal cycling (typically between 190F and ambient)and the flaking/shedding of the coating. Hope that this helps !!?? Let us know more about your application
