Abstract:
1. Apparatus for processing fluid comprising: a body defining a fluid flow passage having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, the body comprising a first electrode arrangement and a second electrode arrangement displaceable with respect to the first electrode arrangement, the first and second electrode arrangements adapted for connection to a supply of electric current such that fluid within the body forms part of an electrolytic cell providing for a flow of ions between the first and second electrode arrangements; biasing means operatively associated with the second electrode arrangement and adapted to displace the second electrode arrangement against a flow of fluid within the body in order to displace the second electrode arrangement into closer proximity with the first electrode arrangement as the fluid flow rate increases, thereby increasing the flow of ions, and to displace the second electrode arrangement away from the first electrode arrangement as the fluid flow rate decreases, thereby decreasing the flow of ions.
