Electrode Boiler
1.3-Advantages/performance benefits
100% of the electrical energy is converted into heat with no heat transfer or stack losses. Since the
water has electrical resistance, this current flow generates heat directly in the water itself. The more
current (amps) that flows, the more heat (BTU) that is generated and the more steam that is produced.
Low water protection is absolute since the absence of water prevents current from flowing and the
electrode boiler from producing steam.
Unlike conventional electric boilers or fossil fuel boilers, nothing in the electrode boiler is at a higher
temperature than the water itself (with the exception of the standby heater when the boiler is not in
operation).
If scaling should occur in the boiler, it will electrically insulate the electrodes, reducing current flow
and boiler output. There will be no loss in conversion efficiency. Cleaning the electrodes will restore
capacity. There will be no heat buildup in the electrodes, no electrode burnout, and no danger to the
boiler itself.
The efficient utilization of electrical energy enables the CEJS to provide a very high steam output within
a small physical space.
2 - Installation
Installing the CEJS involves these major steps:
1.Installation of Piping
2.Mechanical installation of circulation pump, electrodes, and hydraulics
3.Wiring the electrical supply and interconnections
4.Preparation for startup
5.Initial startup and checkout procedures
Refer to the boiler drawings for exact details, measurements, and dimensions for the following
instructions.
2.1-Location
Position the boiler on its pad and level it. Provide adequate clearances on all sides for maintenance
and operation space (see Table 1).
Locate the control cabinet adjacent to the boiler so that the operator can observe boiler operation as
necessary.
