GALVANIC CORROSION PROTECTION
Seawater stimulates the circulation of eddy currents due to its high electrical conductivity. It behaves as
an electrolyte when metallic elements are immersed. Each metal has a particular electrochemical poten-
tial that generates a difference in potential originating the electric current influx.The subsequent effect
will be the corrosion of the more active metal or system anode.
Therefore, the materials used for sea navigation, and particularly in the seawater circuits should be sim-
ilar and therefore close on the electrochemical scale to avoid differences in potentials that will originate
strong eddy currents. (See Section 13 - Galvanic corrosion protection).
Important corrosive effects can also be checked by electric leakage between the engine and the sea-
water circuit. These effects can be minimised by the use of engine electrical equipment with isolated
poles and a safe and complete ground connexion. It is advisable to refer to the electrical equipment
section for more details.
All IVECO engines are supplied with protection zinc anodes all along the secondary cooling circuit.The
dockyard personnel must pay attention to the instructions about protection against eddy currents cor-
rosion by using the suitable protective anodes in the complementary installation components and relat-
ed parts.
Instructions:
■
When ending an installation, instrumental controls should be carried out: the equipment compo-
nents electric potential and eddy currents must be measured.
■
Efficient protection duration is only guaranteed by periodic control and change of zinc anodes when
there is intense corrosion.
■
In the vessel first year of use, zinc anodes consumption should be checked every three months.
■
When the anodes original size is reduced by 50% they should be changed.
