Magnetic Scale Reducing and Inhibiting System

摘要

An apparatus for reducing and inhibiting scale formation in water conduits is disclosed. The scale reducing apparatus has at least two stages, each stage containing one or more conduits therein surrounded by magnets. The magnets form a strong, substantially uniform magnetic field in the conduit(s) which is substantially perpendicular to the flow of water therein. Dissolved ions in the water interact with the magnetic field and may as a result be forced into contact with one another to form one or more non-dissolvable solids. The reduction in dissolved ions reduces and/or inhibits the formation of scale in the water supply lines of a structure, thus increasing the life of the conduits, appliances, and other structures where scale may form.

主权项

1. An apparatus for inhibiting scale formation, comprising:
a water inlet configured for connection to a water source and being in fluid communication with a first end of at least one water treatment conduit; a water outlet configured for connection to a water supply for a structure and being in fluid communication with a second end of the at least one water treatment conduit; and a treatment assembly comprising the at least one water treatment conduit and at least one pair of magnets; wherein the diameter of the at least one water treatment conduit is smaller than the diameter of the water inlet such that a flow rate of water in the water treatment conduit is greater than a flow rate of water in the water inlet; and wherein the at least one pair of magnets are disposed symmetrically on opposite sides of the at least one water treatment conduit.
