SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADJUSTING ANODE ROD GALVANIC CORROSION |
| 摘要 |
Systems and methods for adjusting anode rod galvanic corrosion are provided. An exemplary water heater includes a tank for holding a volume of water. The water heater also includes an anode rod extending into the water and electrically connected to an electrical ground such that a galvanic current flows from the anode rod to the electrical ground. The water heater includes at least one heating element configured to heat the water when energized. The water heater also includes a resistor configuration connected between the anode rod and the electrical ground such that the galvanic current flows through the resistor configuration. The resistor configuration provides a variable resistance. |

1. A water heater comprising:
a tank for holding a volume of water; an anode rod extending into the water and electrically connected to an electrical ground such that a galvanic current flows from the anode rod to the electrical ground; at least one heating element configured to heat the water when energized; and a resistor configuration connected between the anode rod and the electrical ground such that the galvanic current flows through the resistor configuration, the resistor configuration providing a variable resistance. |
