Abstract:
A device for electrolytic treatment of liquid flowing through the device, the device being capable of high flow efficiency, comprising:a pair of metal cones comprising electrodes, including an outer cone and an inner cone, each having a common axis and being concentrically arranged with the inner cone positioned within the outer cone so as to define an annular flow space of increasing diameter from a first, smaller-diameter end of the device to a second, larger-diameter end of the device, such that liquid can flow through the annular space generally axially in either direction between the first and second ends,securing means for mounting the inner cone within the outer cone, the securing means including conductive terminal means providing a conductive electrical path to the inner metal cone electrode, and including a first exterior terminal for connection of a power lead,a second exterior terminal connected to the outer metal cone, andadjustment means associated with the securing means, for permitting adjustment of the inner metal cone relative to the outer metal cone by sliding movement along the axis of the two cones, to increase or decrease the size of the annular space between the two cones.
