How does RustStop® electronic rust prevention work?
RustStop® RS-5 (formerly Rust Stop RS2000 and RS-4) electronic rust prevention successfully combines both Impressed Current and Sacrificial Anode technologies and effectively overcomes the limitations of "classic cathodic protection" to help prevent rust on vehicles.
Rust is basically an electrochemical process. The
RustStop® RS-5 System works like a "rust magnet" attracting
electrons that would otherwise be rusting your vehicle. The RustStop®
Rust Magnets™ then corrode, instead of your vehicle, giving
Visual Proof that the System is preventing rust! This diagram shows the RustStop® System turned OFF. As you can see, the Free Electron is reacting with the Iron Atom and causing rust.
Sacrificial Anode: When installing RustStop®, four sacrificial anodes, termed "Rust Magnets™", are strategically located and attached to the vehicle where water will collect or run. When the RustStop® System is turned ON, a positive charge of +45 volts is applied onto these Rust Magnets™ (sacrificial anodes) by the RustStop® Command Module. This causes the Iron Atoms and Impurity Atoms to have a negative charge (-) compared to the Rust Magnets™. The Free Electrons are now pulled through the steel to the Rust Magnets™ at +45V instead of to the negatively charged Iron Atoms (-).
When these Free Electrons
arrive at the Rust Magnets™, the Rust Magnets™ corrode (sacrifice).
This means that the corrosion that forms on the Rust Magnets™ would
have been corrosion forming somewhere else on the vehicle. The RustStop® Rust Magnets™ (sacrificial anodes) corrode giving
Visual Proof that the system is preventing rust.
Impressed Current: The essential factor in
impressed current is that the Free Electrons in the steel of the
vehicle are controlled by the application of an impressed current from
the RustStop® RS-5 Command Module. The normal weak attraction of Free
Electrons toward the Iron Atoms is now disrupted by forcing a uniform
flow of Free Electrons (impressed current) throughout the metal of the
vehicle. In short, the constant flow of Free Electrons in the metal
helps prevent them from reacting with the Iron Atoms as rust.
RustStop® RS-5 uses both Sacrificial Anode and Impressed Current technologies to be the most effective electronic vehicle rust prevention system available.
