Abstract
A fluid thermal conditioning (heating/cooling) system including a housing containing a fluid holding tank and having an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. A drive shaft rotatably supports either of a conductive plate or a plurality of spaced apart magnetic or electromagnetic plates positioned within the housing. The conductive plate can be reconfigured as an elongated conductive component supported within the housing and including a plurality of individual plates which alternate in arrangement with axially spaced and radially supported magnetic/electromagnetic plates. Upon rotation of the shaft, an oscillating magnetic field is generated for thermally conditioning the fluid.
Claims7
A fluid conditioning assembly, comprising:
- a housing containing a fluid holding tank to which is communicated each of an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe;
- a drive shaft supported within said housing and extending within said tank, said shaft rotatably supporting a fluid agitating component;
- at least one magnetic or electromagnetic plate supported within either of said housing or tank;
- a fluid conditioning and conductive component supported within said tank and in proximity to said at least one magnetic or electromagnetic plate;
- said fluid conditioning and conductive component further including top and bottom conductive plates integrated into a liner of said tank;
- said at least one magnetic or electromagnetic plate further including a pair of top and bottom plates arranged within said housing outside of said tank;
- and
- said drive shaft rotating either of said magnetic/electromagnetic plate or said conductive component, resulting in oscillating magnetic fields being generated, with the fluid within said tank being thermally conditioned.
