What is an electrode boiler?

The Electrode Boiler is a very compact unit. Even a boiler with 60 MW capacity will normally fit into an existing boiler house. The boiler shell is insulated as standard with 2x75 mm Rockwool and cladded with powder coated aluminum sheets. Visual parts are painted.

What is the optimal function of a boiler?

An important parameter related to optimal function of the boiler is the water conductivity. Due to our optimal electrode design, water conductivity stays constant and thereby keeps water consumption at a minimum. Our delivery can include piping, control valve and heat exchanger for heat supply to the district heating circuit.

What is a high pressure steam boiler?

When the conductivty exceeds the selected setpoint automatic blowdown is initiated. The Electrode Boiler can NOW be delivered as a High-Pressure Steam Boiler. We have developed the boiler with a design pressure of up to 85 barg and 30 MW per unit from 6-24 kV. This is the World's first modern High-Pressure Electrode Steam Boiler.

How fast can an electrode boiler switch from standby to full load?

PARAT Halvorsen designed the first fast Electrode Boiler, able to switch from standby mode to full load in 30 seconds. PARAT has developed a NEW solution to guarantee Zero-Load (patent pending) on our Electrode Boilers during standby.

How ohmic resistance is generated in a boiler?

Heat is generated by ohmic resistance in the water between the electrodes. The boiler acts as a pure ohmic resistance in the main circuit. The water and the inner container form an insulated zero point in the star connection between the electrodes. PARAT has used this successful concept of electrodes since 1993.
