Abstract:
An electrochemical reactor for electrochemically treating water, including a shell structure defining an inner space. The shell structure further includes an inlet portion having an inlet for conducting a water flow to the inner space, and a reactor chamber in flow connection with the inlet portion, and preferably with an outlet portion. The inlet is arranged such that the water flow to the inner space is directed away from the reactor chamber so as to cause the water flow to mix by forcing the water flow to change direction before entering the reactor chamber. A water treatment apparatus having such a reactor, and the use of such a reactor are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrochemical reactor for electrochemically treating water, comprising a shell structure defining an inner space, said shell structure further comprising:\n an inlet portion comprising an inlet for conducting a water flow to the inner space; a reactor chamber in flow connection with the inlet portion, and with an outlet portion, the reactor chamber being arranged for receiving a plate portion of at least one electrode plate so as to direct the water flow past the at least one electrode plate, wherein electrode plates are arranged as a plurality of electrode modules within the reactor chamber, wherein the inlet is arranged such that the water flow to the inner space is directed away from the reactor chamber so as to cause the water flow to mix by forcing the water flow to change direction before entering the reactor chamber, and wherein the inlet portion comprises a deflection surface, opposite to the flow connection between the inlet portion and the reactor chamber, the inlet being arranged such that the water flow to the inner space is directed towards the deflection surface, away from the electrode plates in the reactor chamber, wherein the deflection surface is a curved surface, concave towards the inlet, and is provided as an inner surface the shell structure, wherein the inlet is positioned at a distance of between 50-500 mm, from the deflection surface, and at a distance of between 50-500 mm from the electrode plates, and wherein the inlet is equipped with a bent portion facing away from the reactor chamber for directing the water flow away from the reactor chamber, one or more openings facing away from the reactor chamber, or both, for directing the water flow away from the reactor chamber.
