Patent ID: 7740764

Claim:
A fluid conditioning system, comprising: a conduit adapted to allow fluid to pass from a pre-conditioned volume to a post-conditioned volume, wherein the conduit includes a first conduit element and a second conduit element; a magnet assembly including at least one magnet disposed such that magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet penetrates a conditioning volume within the conduit; and a venturi device; wherein the conduit is formed from a material that allows the magnetic field produced by the at least one magnet to have a magnetic effect on molecules of the fluid as the fluid passes through the conduit; wherein the magnet assembly is arranged such that the at least one magnet is disposed within the conduit, spaced from inner sidewalls of the conduit; wherein the first conduit element, in which the at least one magnet is disposed, includes a first port for fluid communication with one of the pre-conditioned volume and the post-conditioned volume; wherein the second conduit element is disposed in fluid communication with and partially encloses the first conduit element and includes a second port for fluid communication with the other of the pre-conditioned volume and the post-conditioned volume; wherein the first conduit element and the second conduit element are otherwise closed so as to define a fluid path between the first and second ports; and wherein the venturi device is arranged outside of the first conduit element and within the second conduit element.
