Abstract

Problems such as scale formation, pipe corrosion, and sludge bacteria and algae in the circulating cooling water system have always restricted the heat exchange efficiency of heat exchange equipment, and high energy consumption has made it difficult for enterprises to improve production efficiency. The trendy new electrochemical water softening technology provides a new idea for the stable operation of industrial circulating water systems because of its environmental protection, high efficiency and low energy consumption. This paper reveals the mechanism of active descaling and sterilization of algae by electrochemical water softening technology, elaborates the composition of important core components of electrochemical equipment (selection and preparation of anode and cathode materials, power system), compares the types and installation modes of mainstream electrochemical equipment in the market, and analyzes the key factors affecting the efficiency of electrochemical descaling. Finally, the future development of this technology is summarized and prospected.
