What are the effects of scale on the tubular heater?
Many users often report that the electric tubular heater of the water tank is particularly easy to break, especially in areas with hard water quality in the north. In fact, this is the consequence of scale on the surface of the tubular heater. Today we will tell you what effect scale has on the tubular heater.
In terms of chemical cost, scale is calcium carbonate, which is acidic in the waters. Acidic substances are strongly corrosive to metals, that is, scales only erode and condense on metal materials; scales will never react with non-metals. The scale's erosion of metal is irresistible. The scale's erosion and condensation of the metal tubular heater, the thermal efficiency of the lighter will be reduced, and the waste of electrical energy will be caused, and the heating tube will burst, endangering human life. Not to be ignored, the water output becomes smaller in the light, and the inner tank leaks in the worst, which causes the entire water heater to be scrapped. The heating tube is the core component of the heating container heating. Its material and heating structure will directly affect the safety of consumers.
The accumulation of scale in the industrial electric tubular heater will surround the tubular heater layer by layer. The thermal conductivity of scale is very low, causing waste of electrical energy. At the same time, due to the poor thermal conductivity of scale, the internal temperature of the tubular heater is too high, which will greatly shorten the service life of the tubular heater. In general, electric tubular heaters with a service life of 3 years can only be used for half a year to 1 year in the case of excessive scale. In addition, scale easily breeds bacteria and pollutes the water quality. In severe cases, it can also cause the surface of the tubular heater to burst and damage, causing an electric shock.
