Abstract (en)
An apparatus and methods for electrochemically protecting and/or cleaning surfaces of a heat exchanger (20) are disclosed. The apparatus comprises heat transfer plates (6,6',6'',6''') forming at least one flow channel (40,42) there between. At least one electrode plate (3,3') is arranged in the flow channel between the heat transfer plates (6,6',6'',6'''), the at least one electrode (3,3') plate substantially resembling from the size and shape thereof the adjacent heat transfer plates (6,6',6'',6'''). Insulating means (9) for providing electrical isolation between the at least one electrode plate (3,3') and the heat transfer plate (6,6',6'',6''') and at least one conductive element (1,21,44) for conducting current to the at least one electrode plate (3,3') are also provided.
