Arrangement for and method of treating fluid
First Claim
Patent Images
1. In an apparatus for generating and propagating an electromagnetic field, an arrangement comprising:
- a) an elongated conduit extending along a conduit axis and containing a fluid to be treated by exposure to the electromagnetic field for resisting scale deposition inside the conduit;
b) a plurality of electrical wire loops mounted exteriorly of the conduit, and extending around a first axis that extends generally perpendicular to the conduit axis;
c) a ferrite core exteriorly mounted completely around the conduit in a continuous magnetic loop about the conduit axis and extending through the loops; and
d) an alternating current source electrically connected to the wire loops to generate the electromagnetic field circumferentially of the conduit axis, and to generate and propagate an alternating current coaxially of the conduit axis.

Abstract
An arrangement for, and a method of, treating fluids, e.g., conditioning water in a pipe to resist scale deposits from building up in the pipe, comprise a primary coil mounted exteriorly of the pipe, and an electronic circuit for energizing the primary coil to generate a succession of radio frequency signals that form an electromagnetic field in the water. The field has generally circular flux lines in generally co-axial relation with the pipe, and is propagated along the entire pipe.
