An ac. current flows from an electrode of one phase, through neu- tral, to an electrode of another phase using the water as the conductor. Since the water has electrical resis- tance, this current flow generates heat directly in the water itself. The more current (amps) that flows, the more heat (BTU's) generated and the more steam produced. 100% of the electrical ‘energy is converted into heat with no stack or heat transfer losses. Water jets strke elctrode plate Low water protection is absolute since the absence of water prevents current from flowing and the electrode boiler from producing steam Unlike conventional electric boilers 0 fossil fuel boilers, nothing in the elec- trode boiler is at a higher temperature than the water itself, If scaling should occur in the boiler, i will electrically insulate the electrodes, which reduces current flow and boiler ‘output. There is no loss in conversion efficiency however, and, simply clean- ing the electrodes will restore full boiler capacity. There can be no heat build up in the electrodes, therefore, no elec: trode burnout, and no danger to the boiler itself Design features of Electrode Boilers The Mode! CEVS High Voltage Electrode Steam Boiler, is the proven leader with more hours of operating experience over a wide range of ap- plications. The CEJS electrodes are vertically mounted around the inside of the pressure vessel which enables the CEJS to produce maximum amounts of steam in a minimum amount of floor space. The CEJS operates at existing distribution voltages, 4.16 to 25 kv with exceptional efficiency—up to 99.9% efficient! Models are available to pro- duce steam in capacities to 270,000 pounds per hour. Pressure ratings range from 75 psig to 500 psig. All CEJS boilers are designed to ASME. Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, and are certified and registered pressure vessels. How the Model CEJS works Water trom the lower part of the boiler is pumped by the circulation pump (1) up the collection pipe (2) to the nozzle stock (3). The water is forced through the jets of the nozzle stack to sinke the electrode piate (4) creating an electrical current path (R1). The UUnevaporated water flows from the electrode through the nozzle plate (5) to strke the Counter electrode (6), creating a second current path (R2). Control othe boiler output is ‘accomplished by raising or lowering the control sleeve (7) which diverts the water from the covered jets directly back to the lower portion of the boiler. Ine contro! sleeve 1s, ‘moved hydraulically by the control cylinder (10) wnich, in turn, Is positioned by the ‘electronic processor boiler pressure and load control system. This control system will hold steam pressure and match boller output to system requirements. The stand-by heater (14) is used to maintain water temperature at a pre-set level in order to reduce start up time. ‘A proponioning feedwater regulator (not shown) maintains a constantwater levelin the boiler. & load monitoring system prevents the electric demand from exceeding boiler capacity and enables the boiler to be manually set at levels lower than its full kw rating The boiler may also be controled by an automatic demand control system To shut off the boiler simply stop the circulation pump.

Economical installation Fuel lines, storage and handling equip- ‘ment, economizers and emission contro! equipment are not required, saving on capital expenditures, Lower operating costs Simple to operate and maintain, all elec- trical energy is converted to heat. ‘Automatic controls reduce the operating personnel requirements. No complex pollution or combustion control equip: ‘ment to operate and maintain. For areas affected by allocations or inter uptions of natural gas and costly oil supplies, electrode bollers provide a de- endable source of steam.

Thermalshock 's eliminated Minimal maintenance The absence of excessive temperatures and burnout assures long operating io. Electrode boilers have a minimum number ‘of components and electrical controls. With fewer parts and no fuel residues, cleaning and maintenance requirements are re duced. Simple control systems provide maximum reiabiity, Pollution-free Without combustion, the operation of the CEJS boller is quiet, clean and emis- sion free.
