Abstract
This paper provides a scientific explanation for the operating principle of the electronic anti-fouling (EAF) technology. The EAF technology produces an oscillating electric field via Faraday's law to provide necessary molecular agitation to dissolved mineral ions. Through improved collisions, they precipitate to insoluble mineral crystals, a process called “controlled precipitation.” Hence, the level of supersaturation of the hard water significantly decreases, and new scale deposits are prevented inside heat transfer equipment. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd
