The invention discloses an electric
water heater with functions of descaling and
scale control. The electric
water heater comprises a housing, a liner, heating tubes, a control board, and an
ultrasonic generator. The inner container is mounted inside the housing. The heating tubes are disposed inside the inner container and fixedly installed at one end of the inner container. The
ultrasonic generator is electrically connected with the control board. The
ultrasonic generator is fixedly mounted at the top of the inner container and arranged above the heating tubes. One end of the ultrasonic generator is inserted into the inner container, and the other end of the ultrasonic generator is arranged outside the inner container, so that ultrasonic wave generated by the ultrasonic generator cover the heating tubes. Scale can be removed by transmitting the ultrasonic wave with the same frequency as the scale to resonate the scale adhering to the heating tubes; in addition, under the
cavitation action of the ultrasonic wave, formation of the scale on the heating tubes and the inner container can also be prevented and water is sterilized and purified, so that heat exchange efficiency of the heating tubes is improved, energy is saved, maintenance cost is lowered, and drinking water
sanitation is ensured.
