ANTI-CALCIFICATION IMPROVEMENTS FOR STEAM STATION

摘要

A water heating apparatus includes a first water heater including an interior surface and a heating element, where the first water heater is configured to heat water such that steam is produced. The apparatus also includes a first non-stick substance providing at least a portion of the first water heater interior surface, the first non-stick substance configured to reduce adhesion to the first water heater interior surface with respect to a calcium compound within the water, where the calcium compound in the water is caused to flow out of the first water heater as calcium compound solids within a fluid flow. The apparatus also includes a filter assembly in fluid communication with the first water heater to receive the fluid flow and compound solids, the filter assembly including a particulate filter element configured to filter out at least some of the calcium compound solids received within the fluid flow.
