Definitions

  • This invention relates to an improvement in prior art devices to be applied to a section of pipe through which an aqueous solution or water flows for the purpose of reducing corrosion, etc. of the section of pipe during an extended time period of use.
  • the improved structure includes a rotor which is free spinning within a length of pipe and is journaled by bearings of dielectric material and, exteriorly about the rotor and the pipe, a coil which is connected to a d.c. power source, preferably, is arranged to cause a magnetic field of predetermined characteristic when power is supplied to the coil.
  • a d.c. power source preferably, is arranged to cause a magnetic field of predetermined characteristic when power is supplied to the coil.
  • Figure 1 is a view in cross section taken on a vertical center plane of the device.
  • the pipe has a first and second end 12 and 14 both of which are open and threaded. It is of a predetermined length between the ends 12 and 14 around the predetermined length of pipe 9, a coil 8 of a predetermined number of turns is provided. The coil is substanti- ally around the length of pipe 9 in the illustrated preferred embodiment.
  • Confronting end caps 15 and 17 are provided for the housing. The caps include inwardly projecting lengths 18 and 20 and may be screw-threaded as at 51 and 55. One of the caps is provided on a pipe cross 6 and the other is provided on a pipe cross 7.
  • the pipe crosses are in screwthreaded engagement with the respective ends of the pipe 9.
  • the pipe cross 7 has the inlet 60 of the device and the pipe cross 6 has the outlet 70 of the device.
  • the inlet accommodates the upstream or in-flow indicated by the arrowed line 71; and the downstream outlet accommodates the downstream or out-flow indicated by the numeral 72.
  • the respective faces 101 and 103 of the inwardly projecting lengths 18 and 20 of the caps 15 and 17 respectively are provided with a recess, such as 106 and a cup-shaped bearing in the form of the plug 121 and 123 seen in the drawing is seated in the respective recesses, such as 106.
  • Each of the cup-shaped plugs are in confronting relation and each are of dielectric or electrically non-conductive material, such as Teflon, a commercially available product, Teflon being a registered trademark of the E.I. duPont de Nemenours Company of Wilmington, Delaware.
  • Spanning the plugs 121 and 123 is a shaft 127 with one of its ends in each of the plugs or bearing means for rotation in the pipe.
  • a helical rotor 129 is keyed or fixed for rotation with the shaft. It will be seen that between each of the shaft ends 131 and 133 and within the cup-shaped plugs there is a spherical anti-friction ball bearing, the same being designated by the numerals 151 and 153.
  • water or an aqueous solution or mixture flowing into the inlet will be agitated as it moves through the pipe 9.
  • the annular coil 8 is provided.
  • the flow will exit as indicated by the arrowed line 72.
  • a magnetic field is applied to it by energizing the coil using a suitable source, such as that indicated by the battery 201.
  • the battery is connected such that the upstream side of the coil is positive or is the South Pole of the field created by the electrical energy flow.
  • a method of treating flowing fluid which includes the steps of conducting the flow from an upstream source through a device which includes a pipe length of predetermined dimen-sion for a given installation to a downstream exit. While the fluid is flowing through the pipe, a magnetic field is applied to a length of the pipe by means of a coil energized by a d.c. source, preferably, arranged about the pipe. Also, while the flow takes place through the pipe, it is agitated by the rotor as it passes through the magnetic field.
  • the rotor is of low carbon iron as is the pipe length. Magnetic lines of force are cut by the rotor within the field.
  • This magnetomotive force is the force cause of a flux of induction and acts upon the flowing fluids so that it serves as brushes or collectors it is believed.
  • deleterious effects upon the wear of a pipe system in which the device is provided are reduced.
  • the use of the device lowers the viscosity, surface tension and increases the conductivity of the flow which accounts for the reduction in scaling and the corrosive properties of the fluid flowing in a system.
  • the use of the device seems to accelerate the chemical reaction capability of the fluid in downstream operations. While the complete explanation is not perfectly understood at this point, the results of the structure and its method of use are undeniable in practice.
  • the helical coil is shown; however, it will be apparent that the same comprises an agitating means for the water within the pipe of the housing and over which the water is constrained to flow.
  • This it is believed causes a secondary magnetic field between the turning iron rotor and the iron pipe 9 within which it is rotating.
  • This secondary magnetic field may be considered as a transversal magnetic field created by the rotation of the rotor relative to the wall of the pipe which also cuts diametrical lines of force between the rotor and the pipe in addition to the lines of force between the North and South Pole of the electromagnet when the coil is energized.
  • the cup-shaped plugs of dielectric material insulate the rotor shaft 127 from contact with the metal caps and also provide for bearing support for journaling the rotor.
  • Teflon is a preferred dielectric material for this purpose; however, any suitable bearing material of low friction characteristic may be utilized so long as it is of dielectric material.
  • a battery may be used or, alternatively, a transformer connected to an a.c. source or any other type of d.c. power supply may be used.
  • the coil is of a sufficient amperage turns to provide a magnetic field of between 500 and 800 oersted.
  • the preferred axial length of the treatment zone that is the approximate length of the pipe, coil and rotor, is between 6 inches and 24 inches, varying according to the size of the device and the water flow to be treated.
  • the rotor extends substantially the length of the coil; however, it may be somewhat longer or somewhat shorter.
  • the upstream side is always positive while the downstream side is negative.
  • the end sections there is one inlet 60 and one outlet 70 shown in the drawings.
  • the upwardly extending pipe cross portions designated by the numerals 4 and 5, are capped, as at 2 and 3, in the drawings; however, they may be utilized as an additional inlet and outlet so that, there are two inlets and two outlets to the housing.
  • Supplementary means may be utilized to increase the RPM's of the rotor for increased agitation.
  • the end 131 of the shaft may be extended through the cap 15 and be provided with a gear exteriorly of the housing in driving relation with a gear connected to the drive shaft of a motor.
  • agitating means independant of the water flow may be used in small diameter units or where there is a very slow flow.
  • the pipe crosses are preferably of steel while the pipe 10 is preferably of low carbon iron about which the solenoidal coil is arranged.
  • the numeral 201 may be considered to designate an electric junction box to connect to a battery represented by the conventional symbol.
