We created a test cell to design a measurement system based on electrical impedance spectroscopy for heat exchangers. In the experimental heat exchanger, the working electrode is connected to the earth potential for safety reasons. To avoid short-circuiting, an isolation transformer to decouple the impedance analyzer from earth potential was used, thus allowing the detection and characterization of thin fouling layers even if the working electrode is still connected to earth.
