At present, softened water equipment is widely used in various industries such as hot water boiler systems, heating systems, industrial cooling systems, hotel systems, and central air conditioning systems. There are various problems in its use, such as how to choose the installation location of softened water equipment? And what are the precautions in use?
What are the key points to pay attention to when selecting the installation location for softened water equipment?
1) When installing softened water equipment, it is generally placed as close as possible to the drainage outlet;
2) If other pre-processing devices are designed, reserve installation positions in advance;
3) Softening water equipment requires regular salt addition, so the position of the salt box should be set up properly;
4) The installation position of the softened water equipment is more than 3 meters away from the boiler to prevent hot water from flowing into the softened water equipment and damaging the equipment.
5) The suitable temperature range for softened water equipment is 1 ℃~49 ℃.
2. What are the precautions for using softened water equipment?
Softening water equipment, also known as sodium ion exchanger, uses Na+to replace Ca2+and Mg2+in water, thereby reducing the hardness of the water. There are some issues that need to be noted during this process, as follows:
1) The water inlet of the softened water equipment must be kept open for a long time during use. If the equipment malfunctions and needs maintenance, it can only be turned off, and the rest of the time it remains open for a long time.
2) When not in use, close the water outlet valve;
3) Softening water equipment, due to incomplete regeneration of the softening water regeneration agent, resulting in unqualified effluent, can choose manual regeneration.
4) Softening water equipment, if it needs to be stopped for a long time, needs to suck salt water into the tank.
5) When the softened water equipment that has been out of use for a long time is put back into use, it is necessary to prepare the same salt water as before, then open the inlet valve of the equipment, connect the power supply, press the reset button, reset the equipment, and manually regenerate it again. After that, open the outlet valve again.
6) If the industrial salt used contains excessive impurities, the salt drum needs to be cleaned once a year to ensure a smooth salt absorption process.
