Abstract:
Improved graphite composite electrodes are provided by rendering the matrix resin conductive by dispersing therein 5 to 15% by weight of a conductive pigment and by uniformly dispersing therein randomly oriented graphite fibers having a diameter below 30 microns and a length no more than 1/2 the thickness of the electrode plate. The electrodes are particularly useful in the disinfection of aqueous liquids with low power consumption and with very low ablation of the surface of the electrode.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to electrically heated steam generators and means for preventing and removing incrustations due to hard water in such generators. According to the invention this is achieved by means of a superimposed direct current the polarity of which is periodically changed whereby gas bubbles, mainly carbon dioxide and hydrogen, are generated at the electrodes causing segregation and removing of incrustations on the electrodes, the method and means for feeding of the superimposed direct current being variable.
