FIELD: power engineering.
SUBSTANCE: according to the invention, depth of demineralisation of condensate and make-up water, when oxygen-free water-chemical mode (WCM) is performed after preliminary steam-water-oxygen cleaning and passivation of steam-water path is completed, is controlled by comparing redox potentials Eh of condensate and make-up water with electrode potential φe of passivated metal sample of the above path from condition φe>Eh.
EFFECT: creating the conditions in order to make it possible to change oxygen water-chemical mode for oxygen-free one which provides reliable protection of steam-water path of power equipment against corrosion.
