Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a highly efficient automatic electrochemical descaling device, belonging to the technical field of electrochemical water treatment systems. Background Art

[0002] Circulating cooling water systems are widely used in industry, primarily to cool equipment and process heat. These systems typically use water as the cooling medium due to its excellent thermal conductivity and widespread availability. However, over time, circulating cooling water can easily form scale on surfaces such as pipes, heat exchangers, and cooling towers, impacting the system's operating efficiency and lifespan.

[0003] Currently, traditional descaling methods involve adding chemical reagents such as acids and alkalis to remove scale. While effective, this method can cause equipment corrosion, and improperly handling the resulting wastewater can pollute the environment. Electrochemical descaling technology has attracted considerable attention due to its environmental friendliness. Electrochemical descaling utilizes electrochemical reactions, applying an electric field to water to induce electrolyte reactions. This generates hydroxide precipitates through redox reactions, or changes the chemical properties of scale, thereby achieving the desired effect.

[0004] Although electrochemical descaling technology has significant advantages, it still faces some challenges in practical application, such as the durability of electrode materials, device cost, power consumption, and corrosion problems that may be caused by high electrolyte concentrations.

[0010] The anode plate is a metal plate coated with a ruthenium-iridium-titanium alloy.

[0011] The bottom of the reaction barrel is seated on a plane through a fixed bracket.

[0012] The efficient automatic electrochemical descaling device of the present application adopts the above structure and has the following advantages:
