What are the Effects of Limescale in Commercial Dishwashers?

Scale is mostly caused by water quality. If scale is not cleaned, it will become more and more abundant. Therefore, it must be cleaned, otherwise it will cause the following effects:

1. Virus production: Scale contains a variety of harmful heavy metal substances, which can cause harm to human health.

2. Increased power consumption: A large amount of water gutter accumulates on the heating tube of the dishwasher, which will prevent the heating tube from directly contacting the water. And because scale is a poor conductor of heat, the heating efficiency of the heating tube will be greatly reduced, and the efficiency of heating water will be greatly reduced. Power consumption will be greatly increased.

3. Damage to the machine: A large amount of scale accumulates on the heating tube. Some areas of the heating tube are exposed to water and some areas are exposed to scale. The specific heat capacities of the two are different, and the temperature will be different after heating for a period of time, which will lead to temperature differences in different areas of a heating tube. Larger, easy to damage the heating tube.

4. Affect the washing effect: Scale is mainly composed of calcium carbonate, which is a poor conductor of heat, which will cause the water to heat slowly. The water temperature may not rise to the specified temperature within the specified time, which may lead to unsatisfactory washing effect.

If scale is not cleaned in time, it will affect the washing effect of the dishwasher, increase power consumption, and may cause damage to the dishwasher. Therefore, if scale appears on a commercial dishwasher, it is necessary to clean it in time.
