Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Aminoethers are used as corrosion inhibitors in boiler systems in which a working fluid comprising water with an aminoether corrosion inhibitor is circulated from a heater to a utilization site at which the working fluid gives up energy and decreases in temperature. A preferred class of aminoethers are the alkoxytriethyleneglycol-tert-alkylamines such as methoxy triethyleneglycol-tert-butylamine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting corrosion in a boiler system in which a working fluid comprising water is circulated from a heater to a utilization site at which the working fluid gives up energy and decreases in temperature, comprising adding an aminoether corrosion inhibitor to the water; wherein the aminoether comprises diamino ether and an aminoether alcohol represented by the respective formulae: where x is an integer ranging from 2 to 6. 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the boiler system is a single phase, closed loop system in which the water is heated in the heater. 3. A method according to claim 1 wherein the boiler system is a closed loop system in which the water is converted to steam in the heater and condensed to water in at least one condensation site in the circuit. 4. A method according to claim 3 wherein the steam temperature is up to about 250° C. 5. A method according to claim 1 wherein the weight ratio of the diamino ether to the aminoether alcohol ranges from 0.23:1 to 2.3:1. 6. A method according to claim 1 in which the aminoether comprises a mixture of bis-(tert-butylaminoethoxy)ethane and tert-butyl aminoethoxy ethoxy ethanol.
