The increasing demand of burning residual oils in industrial gas turbines has produced a new interest in degradation phenomena due to the presence of corrosive elements in the fuels. Among the elements with high corrosive potential V, always present as impurity in this kind of fuel, is well known as one of the most dangerous; due to the fact that i...

Context 1
... provide a realistic understanding of the nature of the corrosive deposits and the temperatures at which they form, it has been assumed that two liquid salts can form: one (liquid sulphate) based on a mixture of MgSO 4 , Na 2 SO 4 and NaVO 3 , the second one based on a mixture of Na 2 O, MgO and V 2 O 5 species. Table 1 shows the impurities content in the fuels simulated during the experiments and used as input for calculations, S content in the fuel has been established in 0.3%. ...
