    Descaling with hydrochloric acid

    Apologies for lack of detail: These are 3 x 350litre copper tanks with immersion heaters (copper probe+temp reg and HCl resistant heaters) used to contain and maintain water at 70C for large scale QC and prototype testing of (domestic) water systems downstream. Pressures are pretty much...

    I have recently been looking at ECU's, primarily for offshore installations, but smaller applications are also of interest. As I understand it every ECU produces hydrogen gas as part of the process, which is vented to the atmosphere after dilution. I've done a couple of rough calculations and...
