Method and system for injecting RF signal into a fluid-containing system

摘要

A method and system for injecting a pulsed radio frequency signal into a fluid-containing system in order to create and propagate an electromagnetic field throughout the fluid-containing system. Use electromagnetic field may be used to prevent the formation and build-up of scale in the fluid-containing system and/or to prevent the proliferation of bacteria within the fluid-containing system. The method and system may also be used to inject a pulsed radio frequency signal at a number of points in a fluid-containing system, or to inject a pulsed radio frequency signal to a number of independent fluid-containing systems.

主权项

1. A system of treating fluid-containing equipment in order to resist the formation and build-up of scale deposits, the system being arranged to inject a radio frequency signal into the fluid-containing equipment, and the system comprising a conduit, containing a fluid, and a transformer comprising a primary coil and a secondary coil, the secondary coil having a first terminal operably connected to the conduit to inject the signal into the fluid-containing equipment and a second terminal operably connected to ground to balance the load presented by the fluid-containing equipment, and wherein, in use, the system causes propagation of an electromagnetic signal in the conduit.
