How often should the anode and cathode inlet pipes of the ion-exchange membrane electrolyzer be cleaned?

Today, during cleaning, I found that there was a large amount of rust after the anode solution passed through the inlet pipe filter. The excessive iron content in the brine is likely mainly due to the rubber-lined pipes located after the ion-exchange membrane. What’s your opinion on this? # hcbbs
Hehe, I’ve never done anything like this before. The last time I changed the film, I gave it a thorough cleaning; that was about four and a half years ago. From the washing results, there are both iron components and aluminosilicates.
There’s quite a bit of silicon and aluminum. As for rust, I once heard that during a major overhaul at one factory, a piece of iron sheet used for insulation was found in the brine tank
It’s cleaned once a year during the major maintenance; no significant amount of impurities were found. The main components are chlorides and a small amount of rubber powder.
I’ve been driving for two years now, and I’ve never had the system cleaned. I’ve only cleaned the filter on the main inlet pipe twice. For those seniors living upstairs, is it really necessary to clean it frequently? Generally, impurities are trapped by the filter, unless the electrolyzer has no inlet filter.
Take a quick look at the situation when starting or stopping the machine; it’s up to each individual to decide when it’s appropriate to clean it, as there is no universal standard. TF sister really has quite a few problems, huh.
The pipe filters in our brine and caustic soda inlet pipes are removed and cleaned during major and minor maintenance each year (i.e., twice a year)； Clean during membrane replacement of the anode and cathode hoses. Inside the pipe filter, there are mainly iron filings and peeled-off lining. Both our brine inlet hose and anode solution hose have turned red; analysis shows that this is mainly due to iron
On our end as well, during maintenance, we do some cleaning
It will be decided based on the actual inspection results
There’s basically no specific time required; if it doesn’t seem fine, just have it cleaned during a major maintenance session. When the vehicle is first used, it’s necessary to clean it frequently and for short periods of time, but later on, cleaning it whenever it’s parked will be sufficient
