Advantages of Electrode Type Electric Boilers
Conventional fuel fired boilers and electric boilers of the immersed resistive heating element type must utilize heat transfer surfaces at a temperature substantially higher than the desired steam temperature. The efficiency of such units depends on the efficiency of the conversion of fuel into heat and the efficiency of heat transfer. These efficiencies are highly dependent on heat transfer surfaces. Minerals are left behind and deposited on the hot heat transfer surfaces (scale) as the water flashes into steam. These deposits can greatly reduce heat transfer efficiency. With an electrode type electric boiler, heat is generated directly in the water itself, no part of the boiler is at a temperature higher than the steam being produced. The lower temperature reduces the tendency for scale formation and eliminates the problem of thermal shocking. Although scale, should it form on the electrode tips, increases maintenance requirements, it does not a loss in boiler efficiency or danger to personnel or equipment. Due to the electrical insulating quality of calcium scale, current flowing between the electrodes is slowed. In most cases, this scale can be quickly and easily removed from the electrode tips with a wire brush.
An electrode type electric boiler cools and restarts faster than other boiler types, reducing maintenance downtime.
The simplicity of the electrode type steam generator concept minimizes the number of controls, contactors and safety devices required.
Electrode steam generators are quick to react to sudden load changes, as there is no delay in transferring heat to the boiler water to produce additional steam.
With electric boilers of the electrode design there is no possible cold water shock danger.
Conventional fuel fired boilers and electric boilers of the immersed resistive heating element type are subject to failure with potentially disastrous results if the water level falls below some minimal point. There is no unsafe water level in an Electric Steam Generator Corp. SPEEDYLECTRIC electrode type electric boiler because, if for any reason the water supply is interrupted, causing the water level in the pressure vessel to fall below normal levels, the electrode tips will become completely exposed. No current will pass between the electrodes, no steam will be produced and no hazardous temperatures can occur.
In an electrode type steam generator, 100% of the electrical energy is converted to heat. There are no stacks and no energy is used to handle fuel or air. Heat is lost in only two ways, through radiation and blowoff.
Electricity has always been considered a safe, clean, and efficient form of energy. In the past however, it was also expensive, particularly when compared with plentiful natural gas and cheap oil. In recent years, with the rapidly rising cost of using natural gas and oil-fired boilers, electricity is increasing becoming a practical alternative source of energy. For the future, electricity enjoys one very important advantage over other forms of energy - it can be generated from a number of power sources, including hydro, nuclear, fossil fuels, tidal, solar, geothermal and wind. A great deal of time, effort and money are being devoted to developing new technologies and sources of electric power.
