MAGNETIC WATER ACTIVATING PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR REDUCING CORROSION AND LIME DEPOSITS FROM FLOWING WATER

摘要

Reducing corrosion and lime deposits caused by water impurities on surfaces exposed to water is performed by the presence of magnetically treated water. It is found that the reduction of corrosion or encrustation is much more effective if water from a magnetically treatment unit (1) is passed over the affected surfaces to flush them as directly as practically possible and at as high a flow speed of practically possible. Water that has been used to flush these surfaces is recycled through the magnetic treatment apparatus (1) by means of a pump (8) and used to flush the affected surface again. Deflecting devices of the magnetically treated water are useful for flushing the affected surfaces effectively. A helical heat deflector inside a pipe can produce a spiral flow in a pipe for bringing as much of the treated water into contact with the walls of a pipe. A system of nozzles (10) is useful for directing flows of treated water along the walls of a tank. A spiral loop (12) with perforations facing a heating element or a cluster (11) of heating elements is useful for directing magnetically treated water at surfaces of heating elements. Magnetically treated water can similarly be used in cooling towers and air treating installations.
