Patent ID: 7867367

Claim:
A fluid treatment apparatus, in which when a fluid passes through an electrode made of a metal having an electromotive force, a forward reaction rate of water or fuel is reduced by reduction potential using a potential difference generated in a contacting course of the electrode and the fluid, the fluid treatment apparatus comprising: a housing having an inlet port and an outlet port for the fluid at both ends of the housing; and a plurality of first electrodes installed in the housing for generating a potential difference through delivery of electrons at a contact surface between the fluid and each electrode, wherein each first electrode is formed in a disc shape and has a fluid passing hole formed in a center portion, said plurality of first electrodes being arranged in parallel in a direction perpendicular to a main flow direction of the fluid so as to form channels between the first electrodes to branch and guide a main flow; wherein the main flow is branched by the channels formed between the first disc-shaped electrodes arranged in parallel, and the branched flow is collected at the fluid passing hole and then is discharged from the outlet port.
