Electrode boiler featuring variable and controlled output

Abstract

An electrode boiler featuring variable and controlled output is used for heating closed areas by producing hot water and may include an electronic processing unit, area and water sensors; priority controller; power unit; the plastic core; curved plates; metal rod; metal neutral spacer and a screw sealing-connecting the electrodes. An electrode boiler featuring variable and controlled output uses the heat rapidly generated when alternating current flows through streams of liquid. This is achieved by using metal plates and a compact cylindrical rod arranged inside a plastic core. According to the information received from the area and water sensors, the electronic processing unit allots the electric load via the power unit in order to achieve a desirable temperature. The self-regulation of the operational power load required when used simultaneously with other energy-consuming appliances, is ensured by using the priority controller.
