Convert electrical energy to heat energy

The electrode boiler utilizes the high thermal resistance of water. When the electrodes come into contact with water, the resistance of the water directly converts electrical energy into thermal energy, producing hot water or steam. Since the heating process is based on the resistance of water, the conversion efficiency is relatively high, with minimal heat loss. This allows almost all the consumed energy to be used for steam production, achieving an efficiency of 99.9%, with only the radiation heat from the container contributing to any loss.

Adjust the heating power

In the case of boiler water shortage, the current line between electrodes is broken, which will not burn out like traditional boilers due to water shortage, so as to avoid safety risks caused by water shortage and realize self-regulation of boilers.

Maintain boiler pressure and steam output

The most common type of electric boiler pumps water from the bottom of the tank to an internal manifold, which has nozzles that allow water to flow into the electrodes. If more pressure (and thus more steam) is required, the controller increases the pump speed to boost the flow through additional nozzles. Once the desired pressure is reached, the pump regulates the water flow to achieve the necessary steam output (measured in kilograms per hour). The conductivity of the water and the applied voltage determine the amount of steam produced per unit of water flow.
