Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur elektrochemischen Enthaertung von waessrigen Fluessigkeiten, insbesondere von Wasser aus Wasserleitungsrohrnetzen

DE 19823670 A UPAB: 20000112 NOVELTY - In an electrochemical water softening process, the entire volume of water in the cathode chamber is saturated by oxygen from the anode chamber. DETAILED DESCRIPTION - In an electrochemical water softening process, water is fed to a cathode chamber and an anode chamber. Gaseous oxygen is formed in the anode chamber, and the water is softened in the cathode chamber by electrochemical and chemical reactions. The water feed to the cathode chamber has a mixer which combines the water with oxygen from the anode chamber. The entire volume of water in the cathode chamber is saturated by oxygen from the anode chamber. USE - Water softener for use especially in power stations, industrial heat exchangers and refrigeration plant. ADVANTAGE - The process uses no environmentally harmful chemicals and requires less energy than prior art
