Abstract

Electrode boilers are used in industrial applications where large amounts of water must be converted to steam often under short notice. The electrode boilers are of two basic types: Immersion electrode Water jet or spray In the conventional immersion type boiler, current flows through a resistance wire, which generates heat. The heat is transferred through the electrode sheaf and into the water by conduction. These boiler types are most commonly used to produce hot water and will not be covered in any detail in this article since the water treatment requirements are very similar to a conventional boiler.
