Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and system for treating water within a water system to control one or more of scaling, corrosion, bacteria and algae. In particular, the invention relates to methods and systems for applying a superimposed time-varying frequency electromagnetic wave comprising both AC and DC components in a pulsating manner to water within a water system, such as, for example, cooling water systems, cooling towers, boiler systems and water storage systems. The method and the system of the invention significantly reduce capital costs and require very low energy, they avoid environmentally unfriendly final products, and are able to result in various treatment effects simultaneously.

Claim (Index 20):
A system for treating water within a water system to control one or more of scaling, corrosion, bacteria and algae, the system comprising:\n a device for generating a superimposed time-varying frequency electromagnetic wave and having at least two output terminals, the device comprising an alternating current (AC) wave generator for generating an AC driving signal of AC electromagnetic wave having a time-varying frequency at a desired sweeping time, and a direct current (DC) biasing unit electrically coupled in series with the AC wave generator and for producing a DC output with a predefined DC bias voltage, the DC biasing unit being configured such that the DC output is mixed with the AC driving signal to produce a DC superimposed time-varying AC pulsating ionic wave current in which the time-varying frequency AC wave is riding on the predefined DC bias voltage, and an emitter provided at one or each of both of a first excitation site and a second excitation site in the water or the water and the water system and electrically coupled in series with the output terminal of the device, wherein the device is electrically coupled in series with the first excitation site and the second excitation site of the water or the water and the water system directly or through the emitter, such that the DC superimposed time-varying AC pulsating ionic wave current is applied to the water or the water and the water system, and wherein the DC bias output and the AC driving signal are superimposed such that the superimposed time-varying frequency electromagnetic wave is able to induce a flow of ionic current having a DC component travelling in a pulsating and time-varying manner in the water or the water and the water system and effect induced vibration of electrons and molecules of the water or the water and the water system.
