What are the basic principles of boiler softened water treatment equipment?

Released Date: Feb 23,2016 Article Source: Yuanlai Water Treatment
What are the basic principles of boiler softened water treatment equipment? Boiler softened water treatment equipment can be used for steam boilers, hot water boilers, air conditioners, steam condensers, heat exchangers and other make-up water equipment. It can also be used for the treatment of domestic water in hotels, restaurants, office buildings, apartments, etc., as well as for soft water treatment in industries such as beverages, brewing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. The water softener uses strong acidic cation resin to replace calcium and magnesium ions in the raw water. The water flowing out of this equipment is softened water with extremely low hardness. The chemical reaction is: 2RNa Ca2 (Mg2)=R2Ca(Mg) 2Na. When the resin has adsorbed a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions, it is regenerated - the resin is soaked in saturated brine to displace the calcium, magnesium ions and other hardness in the resin, restoring the softening exchange of the resin

  What are the basic principles of boiler softened water treatment equipment?

  Boiler softened water treatment equipment can be used for steam boilers, hot water boilers, air conditioners, steam condensers, heat exchangers and other make-up water equipment.

  It can also be used for the treatment of domestic water in hotels, restaurants, office buildings, apartments, etc., as well as for soft water treatment in industries such as beverages, brewing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

  The water softener uses strong acidic cation resin to replace calcium and magnesium ions in the raw water. The water flowing out of this equipment is softened water with extremely low hardness. Its chemical reaction is:2RNa Ca2 (Mg2)=R2Ca(Mg) 2Na . The resin is regenerated when it has adsorbed a certain amount of calcium and magnesium ions-Soak the resin in saturated brine to displace calcium, magnesium ions and other hardness substances in the resin, restore the resin's softening exchange capacity, and discharge the waste liquid. Its chemical reaction is:R2Ga=2RNa Ca2 . The entire regeneration process includes: backwashing-Loosen the resin layer and wash slowly by absorbing salt-An exchange reaction occurs, followed by rinsing (forward washing)-Wash away the calcium and magnesium ions exchanged during the chemical reaction and then fill with water-For the next generation.

  Main technical indicators of the equipment

  1. Inlet water pressure0.2~0.5Mpa

  2. Raw water hardness<12mmol>8mmol/LAt that time, it should be declared in advance.

  3. Effluent hardness<0.03mmol/L(Meet the "National Water Quality Standard for Low-Pressure Boilers"GB1576-2001Requirements);

  4. The salt content of raw water<1000mg/LTurbidity<5

  5. Power supply~220V,50HZ

  6. Salt consumption<100g/Gram equivalent(It is related to the hardness of the raw water);

  7. Water consumption<2%; Electricity consumption<40W

  Equipment features

  1. High-performance ion exchange resins are selected, featuring large working exchange capacity, low energy consumption and long service life.

  2. The control section is fully equipped with imported controllers to ensure the continuous operation of the equipment.

  3. The fully automatic control system ensures stable water output and convenient and quick operation.

  4. The structure is reasonable and the installation and operation are convenient.

  5. The corresponding equipment can be personalized designed according to the actual usage requirements.

  6. Wide application: It can be used in steam boilers, hot water boilers, air conditioners, steam condensers, heat exchangers and other make-up water equipment. It can also be used for the treatment of domestic water in hotels, restaurants, office buildings, apartments, etc., as well as for soft water treatment in industries such as beverages, brewing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

  Time control and flow control

  Fully automatic water softeners are classified into two types based on different regeneration control methods: time control and flow control.

  ▼Time control

  Time control refers to the automatic initiation of the regeneration process when the equipment operation reaches the set regeneration time. This type of system sets the regeneration time based on the actual water consumption and the exchange capacity of the equipment. Users can select the regeneration process during periods with lower water consumption or start it manually at any time as needed.

  The advantages of time control1The price is low.2Easy to operate

  Disadvantages of time control:1Generally every24It can only regenerate once every hour.2The time point for regeneration cannot be precisely determined based on the actual usage conditions

  Applicable occasions: Time-type control is generally applied in situations where the hardness is relatively low<4mmol/LThe water consumption is stable (the fluctuation in water usage does not exceed.15%In cases where the effluent quality requirements are not high and the water consumption is relatively small.

  ▼Flow control

  Flow control is to set the operation endpoint based on the exchange capacity (total water production) of the equipment. When the equipment is in operation, a dedicated flowmeter is used to count the volume of water flowing out. When the total water output reaches the set water volume, the controller automatically starts the regeneration process. Before setting, the total water production for each cycle should be calculated based on the total resin filling volume and the hardness of the raw water, and then set according to this value.3900The water production volume of the series is automatically calculated by the controller. When the set water volume is reached, regeneration can be carried out immediately as needed or wait for a certain set time before regeneration.

EDI ultra-pure water system

EDI ultra-pure water system

Yuan LaiEDIThe ultra-pure water equipment uses electro-deionization technology.EDIElectrodeionization is a water purification method that combines the dual advantages of electrodialysis and ion exchange. It does not require acid-base chemical regeneration and can continuously and stably prepare high-purity ultrapure water. Under the action of a direct current electric field, ion separation in water is completed. At the same time, water is electrolyzed to generate hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions, achieving automatic regeneration of the resin without the need to stop the machine for manual regeneration. The pre-treatment combined with reverse osmosis can prevent oxidized substances from damaging the resin, ensuring stable effluent quality and widely meeting the high-standard water usage requirements of various industries.

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

Non-negative pressure water supply equipment

The non-negative pressure water supply equipment can be directly connected to the municipal water supply network, making full use of the residual pressure of the original network for superimposed water supply. Fully enclosed operation does not require the construction of a domestic water tank, eliminating secondary pollution. Intelligent variable frequency voltage stabilization, energy-saving, quiet and easy installation, it is the preferred equipment for secondary water supply in high-rise residential buildings and commercial buildings.

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment

Constant pressure water supply equipment is widely used in central air conditioning, floor heating, industrial closed-loop water circulation, and boiler systems. It integrates automatic pressure stabilization, automatic water replenishment, automatic exhaust, pressure relief and buffering functions. It stabilizes the pressure in the pipeline network, eliminates abnormal sounds caused by air blockage, and prevents damage from negative pressure and water shortage in the pipeline. It is an essential supporting equipment for HVAC and circulating water systems.
