Volatile corrosion inhibitor detection device

A corrosion risk reduction system comprising:

• at least one corrosion risk reduction module, each corrosion risk reduction module comprising a housing including an inlet port and an outlet port which are each configured for fluid communication between an inside of the housing and an outside of the housing, the housing containing a replaceable cartridge in which are disposed a plurality of containers of volatile corrosion inhibitor,
• wherein the outlet port is configured for fluid communication with a piping system, and the outlet is configured to direct a gas from an air compressor, and the volatile corrosion inhibitor from the inside of the housing of the at least one corrosion risk reduction module, into the piping system;
• and
• at least one corrosion risk reduction module, the corrosion inhibitor detection device comprising:
• a coupling configured to couple the corrosion inhibitor detection device to the piping system;
• a coupling configured to couple to the corrosion inhibitor detection device to the piping system;
• and
• a housing in fluid communication with the coupling and containing an indicator element configured to visually change upon contact with the volatile corrosion inhibitor;
• wherein a bendable and crushable portion of the housing of the corrosion inhibitor detection device contains the indicator element and further contains an indicator capillary, wherein the indicator capillary contains indicator fluid, and
• wherein the indicator element and the indicator capillary are arranged such that, upon breaking of the indicator capillary by bending or crushing the bendable and crushable portion of the housing of the corrosion inhibitor detection device, the indicator fluid is released from the indicator capillary and reaches the indicator element to render the indicator element sensitive to the volatile corrosion inhibitor, thereby providing an indication upon contact with the volatile corrosion inhibitor.
