Analysis of Influencing Factors on the Efficiency of Electrochemical Scaling Equipment

Abstract

Electrochemical descaling devices have been widely used in the industrial field due to their broad applicability, convenience of operation, and cost-effectiveness. However, there are many factors that affect the descaling performance of electrochemical descaling devices, such as the selection of electrode materials, the shape and layout of the anode and cathode, the voltage and current of electrochemical equipment, the flow rate, temperature, and mineral content. Existing research has primarily focused on the influence of electrode materials and current density on descaling efficiency, while neglecting external factors such as water flow rate and temperature. In order to further explore the internal and external factors affecting the descaling performance of descaling machines, this study constructed an experimental platform for a descaling machine fouling device. Different voltages, currents, water flow rates, and temperatures were studied to assess the descaling efficiency of the descaling machine. The results indicated that under the conditions of a temperature of 30 °C, a flow rate of 0.35 m/s, a voltage of 24 V, and a current of 10 A, the fouling resistance effect of the electrochemical descaling device was optimal. This provides a new perspective for further improving the descaling efficiency of descaling machines and conducting parameter optimization.
