Electric heater to remove limescale

Oct 14, 2022

The thermal conductivity of the heater with scale is very low, resulting in a waste of electricity. At the same time, due to a large amount of scale and poor thermal conductivity, the internal temperature of the electric heater is too high, which will greatly shorten the service life of the heater. Generally speaking, electric heaters with a service life of 5 years can only be used for 1 to 2 years when there is too much scale. In addition, the scale of the electric heater is easy to breed bacteria and pollute the water quality.

 

As mentioned above, there is a water heater that can automatically monitor the water quality and automatically eliminate the corrosion factor, so the electric heater is not easy to scale. In addition, there are some technical methods that can be done. Here are a few.

 

Using an extruded magnesium rod with an elongated steel core and placing it on the opposite side of the electric heater, the electric heater can effectively prolong the service life of the magnesium rod, ensure the maximum protection of the inner tank, and is not easy to scale the electric heater. Core Tip: At present, most of the ordinary water heaters on the market have the problem that electric heaters are easy to scale. Scale builds up and surrounds the heater. The thermal conductivity of the scale is very low, resulting in a waste of electricity. At the same time, due to a large amount of scale and poor thermal conductivity, the internal temperature of the electric heating tube is too high, which will greatly shorten the service life of the heater. Generally speaking, electric heaters with a service life of 5 years can only be used for 1 to 2 years when there is too much scale.

In addition, the scale is easy to breed bacteria, and the electric heating tube pollutes the water quality.

 

At present, most of the ordinary water heaters on the market have the problem that electric heaters are easy to scale. The accumulation of limescale will surround the heater layer by layer.
