Why choose ACES?
ISO 9001 certified
MG ANODI operates under an ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System certified.
The ISO 9001 certification highlights MG ANODI INTERNATIONAL’s propensity for continual improvement of its performance and of the efficacy of its management procedures. The ISO certification confirms MG ANODI’s ability to ensure that company organizational processes are conducted correctly, and assigns clear responsibilities for preparation, implementation and control of the entire quality management system.
Not a conventional protection method
The classic and widespread protection system for water heaters and storage tanks is composed of an internal tank coating in conjunction with the use of magnesium anodes.
Limitations of the classic protection system:
1 Passive protection with an internal coating is unreliable because flaws in the coating impair the effectiveness of protection, even if they are within the maximum limit permitted by DIN 4753 part 3 (7 cm2/m2).
2 ACES does not require any maintenance and periodic services leading to high overheads for the end user.
3Studies performed in major European universities have shown that ACES Titanium Anode prevents the development of Legionella bacteria with the associated serious infection and health risks.
Innovation
With state-of-the-art electronics and the very latest studies into the behaviour of electrochemical currents, today’s technology has allowed us to develop the modern Anti Corrosion Electronic System (ACES).
Innovative features of the ACES method:
1. Tank working life extended 10 / 15 times.
Thanks to our long experience in cathodic protection we can confirm that the use of ACES on tanks of all types makes it possible to extend working life by at least 10 times; in more than 20 years of sales we have never had any claims or product returns due to faulty operation of our devices, which have consistently guaranteed the protection of the tanks on which they are installed.
2 Health benefits: no Legionella, no bacteria, maximum disinfection.
Comprehensive studies conducted by top European universities have shown that the use of titanium anodes (like that used by CGR) prevents Legionella bacteria from developing in hot water tanks. This translates into massive benefits in terms of tank safety and, more importantly, health protection.
3 Zero maintenance: a huge plus compared to the classic magnesium anode, slashing periodic service costs.
Installing an ACES system means saving time and money for routine servicing. Just check that the green LED on the ACES case switches on when the unit is installed then forget about periodic functional checks and the cost of periodic services.
Classic magnesium anodes, in fact, must be replaced at intervals of around 2 years, with all the associated costs of calling out a technician and draining the tank:
ACES technology guarantees full tank protection using the best technology available on the market.
4 Optimised eco-compatibility and efficiency with negligible power consumption.
The many years of research required to develop the logic that controls the anode have also allowed power consumption to be kept to the absolute minimum.
5 A 100% electronic circuit board made in Italy.
ACES is designed, tested, patented and manufactured in Italy, principally in the high-tech Modena area, thanks to the skills and know-how of expert electrochemical and electronics engineers and using the most reliable and innovative materials available, with state-of-the-art electronics updated year-by-year to deliver impeccable levels of product reliability.
6 Customizable for any domestic or industrial tank.
Experience gained in the field combined with CGR’s determination to develop a product for all applications means our clients can request a personalized analysis of each tank, from domestic boilers to the biggest industrial plant. CGR can prepare a personalized study to define the most suitable technical protection of individual tanks.
ACES can be installed on 1,000 l-plus tanks with a single single-core cable that allows the connection of 2 anodes, depending on water heater capacity.
From small civil water heaters to the biggest industrial tanks.
7 Sold worldwide for decades and acclaimed by installers and manufacturers alike, ACES is fully tried and tested.
ACES has been protecting hot water tanks for more than 20 years with constantly growing market penetration in Europe and worldwide; thanks to its flexibility, energy efficiency, and technical evolution, ACES has gained recognition beyond Italy’s borders with ever-higher sales in Europe and on emerging markets such as India and the Middle East.
