AquaMagna barium ceramic based bi-pole magnets generate high strength magnetic flux fields that alter the reaction between scale forming ions in hard water. As water, an electrically conductive fluid, passes through the magnetic field, clusters of water molecules are broken down and aligned along the magnetic flux vector. As these smaller, non-adherent particles flow downstream existing scale deposits are hydrated and eroded by the flowing water. Figure 3 shows the random placement of water molecules and crystallizing minerals entering the magnetic field where the smaller, magnetized water molecules are aligned, providing increased solvency. The proximity of 3-phase power lines can generate a secondary magnetic field requiring magnets to be shielded.
Turbulence is also a factor as pump impellers, etc.
Established in 1995, Magna-Tek provides domestic and industrial consulting services with regards to designing and installing comprehensive magnetic conditioning and descaling systems. Magna-Tek is currently investigating opportunities in fuel conditioning, and has applied it for natural gas conditioning. This document was originally published April, 1999.
