The dangers of scaling, existing solutions and their drawbacks

Dangers of scaling

● Reduce heat transfer effect

● Cause corrosion of pipelines and equipment

● Reduce the cross-sectional area of water flow, increase water flow resistance and energy consumption

Increase solubility

Under the electrochemical action of the metastable functional alloy, the fluid characteristics change, breaking the large water molecule clusters originally associated with H bonds, causing polarization deformation of the water molecule clusters associated with H bonds, and improving the strength of the original minerals. solubility.

Free electrons

The 'free electrons' released by the alloy can be captured by ions with low electronegativity such as Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2O3, etc.This causes Ca2+ and Mg2+ to break away from CO32-, SO42- and HCO3- to form atomic structures (Ca0, Mg0).When they are in aqueous solution, their ionic bonds are broken; or when they are in the state of precipitated solids, that is, scale, their lattice bonds are broken, which fundamentally changes the tendency of scale crystal nucleation or makes it difficult to form large-scale crystals. nuclear.

Anti-scaling experiment and simulation analysis of metastable special alloy anti-scaling device

Saturated salt water crystallization experiment
Pour 90°C saturated salt water solution into an empty flask (bottle A), pour it into the flask containing the alloy for 10 seconds, and then pour it into another empty flask (bottle B) and the flask containing the alloy (bottle C).
