Is it effective to use dilute hydrochloric acid to remove scale from boilers?

In order to effectively remove scale from the boiler, many people have actually tried many methods, but in most cases they have not achieved the ideal removal effect. Now some people also use dilute hydrochloric acid to remove scale from the boiler. So is this method effective? And which method is the most suitable in life? We will give you a detailed answer.

The main components of scale are calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate, which can react chemically with acid. They can react with hydrochloric acid to generate magnesium chloride, calcium chloride, water and carbon dioxide, thereby removing scale.

1. Remove scale due to thermal expansion and contraction. Place the empty kettle on the stove and dry the moisture in the scale. When cracks appear on the bottom of the kettle or a "bang" sound appears on the bottom of the kettle, remove the kettle and quickly pour in cold water. Or wrap the handle and spout with a rag, hold it with both hands, and quickly place the dried kettle in cold water (do not let water flow into the kettle). Repeat 2 to 3 times and the scale on the bottom of the pot will fall off due to thermal expansion and contraction.

2 Remove scale with vinegar. If there is scale in the kettle, put a few spoons of vinegar into the water and boil it for one or two hours, and the scale will be removed. If the main component of scale is calcium sulfate, you can pour pure alkaline solution into the kettle and boil it to remove the scale.

3. Use a mask to prevent scale accumulation. Put a clean mask in the kettle. When boiling water, scale will be absorbed by the mask.

4 Magnetization: Put a magnet in the kettle. Not only will it prevent scale accumulation, but the boiled water will be magnetized, which can also prevent and treat constipation and pharyngitis.

The above is about the accumulation of boilers. There are some methods and techniques for removing thicker scale. It is actually quite convenient to remove scale through these methods and techniques. So when facing the problem of scale, you can try to use the methods recommended above to solve it quickly. This is also to better ensure your own dietary health.
