ELECTRODE STEAM BOILER
Hi-Therm Electrode Steam Boiler is a packaged boiler manufactured for high pressure steam applications in industries.
Electrode Steam Boiler – Overview
Hi-Therm electrode steam boiler series work on the principle of passage of electricity through water, which causes a rise in the temperature of water. It comprises of an insulated boiler vessel, special alloy electrodes, feed water pump, various mountings and fittings along with an electrical control panel.

Quality Testing and Certification
The boiler pressure vessel of Non-IBR type boilers undergo hydrostatic test at twice the operating pressure, to ensure strength and no leaks.
Small Industrial Boilers (SIB) type boilers are tested as per the IBR act and comes along with the requisite certifications
IBR type boilers are duly approved by the boiler inspector as per the IBR act and comes along with the requisite certifications
The boiler electricals, mountings & fittings and the feed water pump are tested and set as per normal operating conditions prior to dispatch, to save installation time at site
Operating Principle
An electrode boiler differs in its operating principle from any other method of heating water or producing steam. The passage of electricity through any resistor causes a rise in the temperature within the material. The same principle is applied in the electrode boiler. The passage of electricity through water causes a rise in the temperature of water.
Thus in the electrode steam boiler, heat is generated within the water itself and is not transmitted to it from some other source of heat at a higher temperature. Besides the heat generated is exactly equivalent to the electricity expended and hence, there is no loss of energy in this conversion.
