Abstract:
A magnetic-treatment apparatus for magnetically treating a fluid moving through a conduit in a flow path at a flow rate, said apparatus comprising:a plurality of magnetic units;each of said magnetic units including one magnet having a surface with one polarity and a surface with an opposite polarity, and two yokes;one of said yokes having a surface which opposes a surface of the other said yoke, a portion of said yoke surface being coupled to said magnet surface with one polarity, and a portion of said other yoke surface being coupled to said magnetic surface with said opposite polarity, said one yoke has said one polarity and said other yoke has said other polarity, with a gap formed between a remaining portion of said opposing yoke surfaces for positioning said conduit;said plurality of magnetic units being arranged along said conduit such that the polarity of the yokes of adjacent magnetic units are different, andwherein a direction of a magnetic flux along the flow path of said fluid changes.
