The working principle and function of water softening equipment

Released Date: Apr 23,2016 Article Source: Yuanlai Water Treatment
The working principle of water softening equipment: The hardness of water is mainly composed of cations in it: calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) ions. When the raw water with hardness passes through the resin layer of the exchanger, the calcium and magnesium ions in the water are adsorbed by the resin, while sodium ions are released. Thus, the water flowing out of the exchanger is softened water with the hardness ions removed. When the resin adsorbs calcium and magnesium ions to a certain saturation, the hardness of the effluent increases. At this point, the soft water equipment will automatically carry out the regeneration work of the exhausted resin according to the preset program. By passing a higher concentration of sodium chloride solution (brine) through the resin, the exhausted resin will be restored to the sodium type resin. The function of softened water produced by softened water equipment: Softened water reduces or avoids the formation of scale and is suitable for washing and bathing. In addition, it also avoids water in the pipes

  The working principle of water softening equipment

  The hardness of water is mainly determined by the cations in it: calcium(Ca2+)Magnesium(Mg2+)Ionic composition. When the raw water containing hardness passes through the resin layer of the exchanger, calcium and magnesium ions in the water are adsorbed by the resin, while sodium ions are released. Thus, the water flowing out of the exchanger is softened water with the hardness ions removed,When the resin adsorbs calcium and magnesium ions to a certain saturation, the hardness of the effluent increases. At this point, the soft water equipment will automatically carry out the regeneration work of the exhausted resin according to the predetermined program, using a higher concentration of sodium chloride solution(Salt water)Through the resin, the exhausted resin is restored to the sodium-type resin.

  The function of softened water produced by softened water equipment:

  Softened water reduces or avoids the formation of scale and is suitable for washing and bathing. In addition, it also avoids problems such as energy waste and reduced efficiency of water-using equipment caused by scale in water pipes. The main function of softened water:

  1Prevent the accumulation of scale, frequent clogging and low thermal efficiency in water pipes, industrial boilers, water heaters, coffee machines, humidifiers, steam irons, bathtubs, shower heads, flush toilets, etc.

  2Whether brewing coffee or brewing tea leaves, the taste is pure and authentic. Growing flowers can prolong the flowering period. The green leaves should be spotless and the flowers should be bright and beautiful. Keep fish to prevent all kinds of fish.

  3Hair care, dandruff removal and itch relief, soft hair strands, natural hairstyle. Skin care and bathing make the skin tender and smooth, significantly reducing dandruff on the body. When applying makeup, the skin doesn't feel tight and it's very easy to put on and remove makeup.

  4Extend the shelf life of tofu, make soy milk more fragrant and rich, and the bean sprouts do not need growth hormones and grow vigorously. Wash vegetables, remove the ingredients and extend the freshness period of vegetables. When cooking rice, the cooking time is shortened, making the rice grains soft and lustrous, and the noodles are less likely to expand. Cooking to preserve the natural taste and nutritional components of vegetables.

  5It effectively inhibits the healing of external injuries and reduces the incidence of gastrointestinal and gallstone diseases.

  6Washing, preventing static electricity, discoloration and deformation, cleaning tableware, keeping it clean and free of water stains, and enhancing the luster of utensils. Clean the kitchen and bathroom, powerfully remove dirt and odors.

  7Save on expenditure and reduce the maintenance costs of water equipment and water pipelines60%The above reduces the cost of hot water fuel30%The above reduces the cost of purchasing detergent50%That's all.

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.
