Abstract:
1. A fluid treatment apparatus, comprising in combination: (a) a casing forming a side or sides through which fluid flows; (b) an array of magnets in the casing, arranged substantially perpendicular to the side of the casing and therefore substantially perpendicular to the main flow of fluid through the casing, wherein some of the magnets within the array lie within at least one plane which is substantially perpendicular to the side or sides of the casing and therefore substantially perpendicular to the main flow of fluid through the casing, and magnets which lie substantially within the same perpendicular plane are spaced apart from each other and arranged in alternating polarity; and (c) means to support the array of magnets such that the space between the magnets within the array which lie substantially within the same perpendicular plane are substantially equal distances from the adjacent magnets to permit flow of fluid therethrough.
