Abstract
A process of conditioning a fluid includes passing the fluid through a magnetic field. A fluid conditioning system includes a conduit adapted to allow fluid to pass from a pre-conditioned volume to a post-conditioned volume, and a magnet assembly including at least one magnet disposed such that magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet penetrates the conduit. The conduit is formed from a material that allows the magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet to have a magnetic effect on molecules of the fluid as the fluid passes through the conduit.

A fluid conditioning system, comprising:
- a conduit adapted to allow fluid to pass from a pre-conditioned volume to a post-conditioned volume, wherein the conduit includes a first conduit element and a second conduit element;
- a magnet assembly including at least one magnet disposed such that magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet penetrates a conditioning volume within the conduit;
- and
- a venturi device;
- wherein the conduit is formed from a material that allows the magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet to have a magnetic effect on molecules of the fluid as the fluid passes through the conduit;
- wherein the magnet assembly is arranged such that the at least one magnet is disposed within the conduit, spaced from inner sidewalls of the conduit;
- wherein the first conduit element, in which the at least one magnet is disposed, includes a first port for fluid communication with one of the pre-conditioned volume and the post-conditioned volume;
- wherein the second conduit element is disposed in fluid communication with and partially encloses the first conduit element and includes a second port for fluid communication with the other of the pre-conditioned volume and the post-conditioned volume;
- wherein the first conduit element and the second conduit element are otherwise closed so as to define a fluid path between the first and second ports;
- and
- wherein the venturi device is arranged outside of the first conduit element and within the second conduit element.
A process of conditioning a fluid, comprising:
- arranging at least one magnet such that a magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet penetrates a conditioning volume within a fluid conduit;
- arranging the conduit such that a fluid path passes through the conditioning volume at least twice;
- arranging a venturi device within the conduit;
- passing the fluid through the conduit, thereby passing the fluid through the magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet and through a venturi region created by flow of the fluid past the venturi device.
