Abstract
A descaling device for neutralizing and preventing formation of calcium carbonate or other scale in a water conduit includes an electromagnetic coil adjacent the conduit and a power supply for the coil. The power supply generates a complex triangular waveform output signal that varies continuously in frequency and amplitude. The output is applied across the ends of the coil creating time varying magnetic and electric fields. The fields physically interact with molecules in water flowing in the conduit to neutralize existing scale and prevent formation of new scale.
Claims18
A device for treating water flowing in a conduit to neutralize and prevent the formation of calcium carbonate scale in the water, the device comprising;
- A) field transmitting coil adapted to be located adjacent to a water conduit, said coil having two input terminals;
- and
- B) a waveform generator connected to said coil terminals, said generator generating a triangular wave current output signal at said terminals, said signal having a peak to peak amplitude and a frequency.
A method of treating a water using an electromagnetic coil and a waveform circuit, comprising the steps of:
- A) generating a triangular wave current signal having a linear slope portion joining a peak;
- B) applying the current signal to the coil to generate a magnetic and electric field;
- and
- C) positioning the coil adjacent the water so that the magnetic and electric field intersects the water.
A device for treating water flowing in a conduit to neutralize and prevent formation of calcium carbonate scales in the water, comprising;
- A) an electric coil wound in a coil adjacent the conduit;
- and
- B) a waveform circuit connected to ends of said coil and having a truncated triangular wave current output signal, said signal coupled to said coil and having a peak to peak amplitude and a frequency.
