Abstract:
A magnetic treatment apparatus for magnetically activating water comprising:an upstream connector formed with a water inlet passage extending therethrough, the water inlet passage having a first cross-sectional area;a housing formed with a magnetic treatment passage which extends through the housing and is in communication with the water inlet passage, the magnetic treatment passage having a second cross-sectional area;a downstream connector formed with a water outlet passage which extends through the downstream connector and is in communication with the magnetic treatment passage, the water outlet passage having a third cross-sectional area;a magnetic unit releasably accommodated in the housing with a water flow space formed in the magnetic treatment passage, the magnetic unit including a plurality of magnet holding pipes extending in a direction from the upstream connector towards the downstream connector arranged in a plurality of rows, each of the magnet holding pipes hermetically containing a plurality of permanent magnets and having an outer diameter, at least part of the water flow space being formed between the magnetic holding pipes for allowing the water to flow in direct contact with the magnet holding pipes; anda plurality of connection bars each for connecting a respective row of magnet holding pipes, each of the connection bars having a width smaller than the outer diameter of each magnet holding pipe to be concealed behind a respective end of each magnet holding pipe.
