Abstract
An electric water heating system (101) with limited scale precipitation comprises a container (102) for receiving water and defining an inner storing space for water to be heated. The water stored in said inner storing space can be heated by an electric heating element (104) present in the inner storing space. Furthermore, an anode element (105) and a cathode element (106) are provided, either connected to or connectable to a DC power source (107) to create a potential difference between the cathode element (106) and the anode element (105). The cathode element (106) is located in the inner storing space adjacent to the heating element (104).
Claims15
An electric water heating system (101) comprising
- a container (102) for receiving water and defining an inner storing space for water to be heated, having
- an electric heating element (104) for heating the water stored in said inner storing space, and
- an anode element (105) and a cathode element (106) connected or connectable to a DC power source (107) to create a potential difference between the cathode element (106) and the anode element (105),
- characterized in that the cathode element (106) is located in the inner storing space adjacent to the heating element (104).
An electric water heating system (201, 401) comprising
- a hollow body (202, 402) for conducting water to be heated, having
- an inner wall (203, 403),
- an electric heating element (204, 404) for heating the water attached to said inner wall, and
- an anode element (205, 405) and a cathode element (206, 406) connected or connectable to a DC power source (207, 407) to create a potential difference between the cathode element (206, 406) and the anode element (205, 405),
- characterized in that the cathode element (206, 406) is attached to the inner wall (203, 403) adjacent to the heating element (204, 404).
