The invention relates to a water direct-current electrolytic treatment process for circulating cooling and direct-current electrolytic treatment equipment for the circulating cooling, and shows the core concept that a bypass circulating
system is arranged on a circulating cooling water
system, and the direct-current electrolytic treatment equipment is arranged to treat the circulating cooling water. The direct-current electrolytic treatment equipment is used for scaling and separating out
calcium and
magnesium in the circulating water by utilizing cathodic
hydrogen evolution reaction, and descaling and discharging the scale to continuously reduce the
hardness of the
system so as to preventing scale from generating; active materials separated from a specially dimensionally stable
anode are utilized for exterminating
bacteria and inhibiting the growth of
bacteria, so that the problems due to blocking and
corrosion are prevented; and simultaneously, the pH is increased by
hydrogen evolution reaction, so that
electrochemical corrosion can be effectively prevented. The direct-current
electrolytic process realizes a plurality of functions in the same process, such as descaling, sterilizing and exterminating the
bacteria. Compared with the conventional physical method and chemical method, the direct-current electrolytic treatment process has the advantages of being remarkable in effect, high in
cleanability, capable of saving
water source, low in
energy consumption and low in cost, and can realize unattended operation.
