APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR THE MICROBIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF FLUIDS BY MEANS OF ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS GENERATED FROM LOW-VOLTAGE AND LOW-FREQUENCY ALTERNATING ELECTRIC CURRENT

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the microbiological control of fluids in tubing that is electroconductive or not, by means of the application of electric and magnetic fields, from low-voltage and low-frequency alternating electric current, characterised in that it comprises an assembly of cells (21) of tubing that is electroconductive or not, which are separated by electrical insulation joints (10A), but hydraulically interconnected so as to form sections (22) which are arranged or connected in series, and which have an electrical arrangement that allows the direction of the magnetic field generated by the current when it passes through the insulated electric cable, which goes inside the tubing, to join the direction of the magnetic field generated inside the tubing, as a result of which the tangential force of said magnetic fields is reinforced, and the resulting force has a helical-centrifugal form towards the inner wall of the tube (which transports a large quantity of electrons), pushing the bacteria towards the inner surface of the tube, which is very large compared to the outer surface of the inner cable, which stresses said microorganisms and eventually generates pores in the membrane thereof, which ends up causing the total lysis thereof.
