Abstract:
1. A glycol dehydration device, comprising (a) a cylindrical container for holding a quantity of glycol; (b) a plurality of cylindrical galvanic electrodes arranged within said container in parallel spaced relation in a radial array, said container and each of said plurality of cylindrical galvanic electrode having axes which are parallel; (c) a direct current source for supplying direct current; and (d) at least one switch connected between said direct current source and said each of said plurality of galvanic electrodes for supplying alternating positive and negative pulses of direct current to each of said plurality of galvanic electrodes at a frequency commensurate with an electro-hydrodynamic eigenfrequency of said plurality of galvanic electrodes, said container, and the glycol to heat the glycol to a temperature sufficient for dehydration.
