Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of descaling of steam cabinets, in particular to a steam cabinet with an automatic descaling device. Background Art
[0002] Steam cabinets are large kitchen equipment that use gas or electricity to generate high-temperature steam to steam rice or other foods. They are widely used in various food processing companies. When the steam cabinet is working, calcium and magnesium ions in the water react with carbonate ions in the water to generate calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate ions. The above ions are enriched on the inner wall of the steam cabinet to form scale. If the water quality is hard, the oxygen content in the water is lacking, and the water molecules are unstable, the solubility of calcium and magnesium ions in the water will decrease, the deposition will increase, and the scale formation will be more obvious. The formation of scale will greatly reduce the thermal efficiency of the steam cabinet.
[0003] In actual use, most existing steam cabinets, even if they have the function of descaling, only scrape the formed scale through a scraping structure such as a scraper, or a smaller number of devices dry the steam cabinet after use through a drying function to reduce the formation of scale. However, the above methods do not remove scale from the root cause of scale formation, and some scale will inevitably remain in the steam cabinet.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a steam cabinet with an automatic descaling device to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content
