11 Product description 3.4 Functional description Physical Via an interior distribution system, 2 (desaliq:ma9) or 4 (desaliq:ma13) resin bags filled with mixed-bed resin are steadily flown through from bottom to top. The fully demineralised water, the so-called demi water, is directed to the tank outlet via the collection element located at the tank lid Chemical The mixed-bed resins consist to one part of a highly acid cation exchanger resin and to the other part of a highly alkaline anion exchanger resin. In the mixed-bed cartridges, the two components are completely mixed. The cation exchanger resin removes all positively charged ions, the so-called cations, from the raw water. All cations contained in the raw water such as calcium, magnesium or sodium are exchanged for H + ions. The anion exchanger resin is used in full demineralisation to filter off negatively charged ions, the so-called anions. All anions such as nitrate, phosphate, sulphate, chloride and hydrogen carbonate contained in the raw water are exchanged for OH - ions. Full demineralisation removes almost all undesired components from the inlet water. Thanks to the highly alkaline anion exchanger resin, silicic acid and carbon dioxide are also filtered off. The H + and OH - ions generated during the exchange process combine to H2O. The result of the full demineralisation principle is pure water Demineralisation of raw water The main application of the desaliq mixed-bed cartridge is the full demineralisation of raw water for easy and quick filling and make-up water feed of heating systems. The raw water is directed to the inlet of the mixed-bed cartridge via an optional system separator and a fine filter
