Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for treatment of water or other fluid material, and comprising a straight, tubular element with an outer wall which de- fines a through-going passage with an inlet end and an outlet end with a longitudinal axis, and a first elongated guide plate and a second elongated guide plate placed in the through-going passage, said guide plates being spiralled with mutually opposite convolutions in relation to/around said longitudinal axis, and where said guide plates are accommodated in said through-going passage for dividing this in two parts for guiding water or other fluid material a ⁇ ong said divisions of said passage from the inlet end to the outlet end, where the straight, tubular element comprises at least two passages with spiralled guide plates.
  • Such a device is known from EP 1 428 797 A1 , which discloses a "Water re- vitalizer" for connection to a water installation, comprising two spaced, spiralled guide plates placed in an enclosed pipe in a cabinet, where around the enclosure, in the space between the spiralled guide plates, there is provided a generator which provides a characterisation of the water, which is hereafter fed back to the water installation via a perforated, bent plate in the outlet end of the enclosure, and a further spiralled guide plate housed in an outlet stub on the cabinet.
  • the effect of the device should be that the macro-molecular characteristics in the water which is led through the device shall be broken down into smaller macro- molecules, which should reduce the surface tension of the water.
  • the device appears to be quite complicated, and alone the establishing of pressure-tight pas- sages for inlet and outlet pipes through the cabinet will give rise to relatively great production costs.
  • the effect of the device is, for example, that the water's content of lime, which will normally be precipitated and adhere to the inside of the pipe installation, e.g. in a home, seldom adheres in neither the pipe nor on flat surfaces in connection with tapping places e.g. sinks, washbasins, washing machines, dishwashing machines etc.
  • the device has also proved to be usable in the removal of odour in clean water supplies, and use of the device for treatment of drinking water for domestic animals has been able to relieve salmo- nella problems among livestock.
  • the new technique according to the invention in general offers an improvement of the quality namely of fresh water, but also the quality of other liquids such as, for example, soft drinks and beer, wine products, juice and other similar beverages. Notwithstanding that the physical and technical background for the surprising results which are achieved with the use of the above- mentioned device is not clear, and despite the fact that a precise description and explanation of the technical effect of the device it not at present accessible, practical utilisation and numerous tests and analyses of water and fluids treated in the device in accordance with the above-mentioned technique have shown surprising results, which in most cases display improvements in the quality of water and fluids which have been subjected to a treatment with the device according to the invention.
  • the treatment of the water or other fluid material can be related to Coriolis force, due to the rotation of the Earth, and it is assumed that the surprising effect in the form of the improvement of quality of water and fluid materials when treated with the device according to the known technique can be based on a compensation principle related to Coriolis force.
  • a further object of the inven- tion is to provide a device where the surprising effect is also achieved with relatively modest flows through the device and the installation associated herewith.
  • this object can be achieved with a device of the kind disclosed by way of introduction, which is characterised in that inside the straight, tubular element there is provided a shorter, straight, plane, plate-formed piece which is disposed between the first spiralled guide plate and the second spiralled guide plate, so that the ends of the shorter plate piece facing towards the spiralled guide plates stand in extension of and are on a level with the corresponding ends of the spiralled guide plates.
  • the right- hand spiralled guide plate is given a left-hand-directed forwards flow which is stopped by the straight course, whereby the rotation energy which is imparted to the straight flow is converted to a micro-molecular turbulence in the liquid, which with the continued flow of the liquid is immediately changed radically by the passing of the second passage, for example with the left-hand spiralled guide plate, to a right-hand-directed forward flow.
  • a macro-molecular turbulence in the liquid combined with a right-hand directed flow of the liquid after passage of the left-hand-spiralled guide plate.
  • Water has a tendency to surround micro particles with a complex of loosely bound water molecules.
  • the micro particles are cut off so that they can not crystallise with calcium carbonate (lime), but are instead precipitated on e.g. pipes and heating elements.
  • the water is led through the device according to the invention, whereby it is ensured that the water comes "correctly” into the system regardless of whatever it is that influences the water before it reaches forward to the system.
  • micro particles will now attract the calcium carbonate molecules. They now collect in clusters and herewith lose the ability to precipitate in pipes and valves, and now flow with the water out of the installation.
  • the straight, tubular element comprises at least the two spiralled guide plates, where between these there is a shorter, straight, plane plate-shaped piece, which is disposed between the first spiralled guide plate and the second spiralled guide plate in accordance with the above, but with the difference that the first guide plate, which is placed nearest the inlet end, is spiralled to the left around the longitudinal axis, and where the other, which is placed nearest to the outlet end, is spiralled to the right around the longitudinal axis, with the result that the flow of water/liquid is given a left-hand-directed flow with passage of the device according to the invention, then the desired, surprising effect of the device mounted in an installation in the southern hemisphere will be produced.
  • spiralled guide plates used in the device are spiralled one turn around the longitudinal axis.
  • first and the second guide plate can with advantage be spiralled around its own axis within the interval 0-359.999° around the longitudinal axis.
  • first and the second guide plate can with advantage be spiralled around its axis within the interval 360.001-1080°.
  • the tubular element in the inlet end and the outlet end can comprise connection possibility to the piping installation in the form of an internal or an external thread. This will ease the work with connection of the device/the tubular element to existing and new pipe installations.
  • the periphery of the first spiralled guide plate can have a slightly conical extent with greatest diameter nearest the inlet end
  • the second spiralled guide plate has a slightly conical extent with greatest diameter nearest the outlet end
  • the straight, tubular element, or lining pipe pieces disposed in this has a conical extent corresponding to that of the guide plates over the extent in which the first spiralled guide plate and the second spiralled guide plate are housed.
  • the periphery of the first spiralled guide plate can have a slightly conical extent with smallest diameter nearest the inlet end
  • the second spiralled guide plate can have a slightly conical extent with smallest diameter nearest the outlet end.
  • the straight, tubular element, or lining pipe pieces placed in this has a conical extent corre- sponding to that of the guide plates over the extents in which the first and the second guide plates respectively are housed.
  • the straight, tubular element can near the inlet end and the outlet end, or the ends with greatest diameter of lining pipe pieces inserted in the straight, tubular element, can have an annular projection oriented towards the centre axis of the pipe for contact for the retention respectively of the first spiralled guide plate and the second spiralled guide plate.
  • the straight, tubular element, or lining pipe pieces placed in this can further comprise annular projections oriented towards the centre axis of the pipe at the ends of the first guide plate and the second guide plate which face towards each other.
  • the end side of the first spiralled guide plate facing towards the inlet end, and/or the end side of the second spiralled guide plate facing the outlet end can be tapered/bevelled from each side surface towards the centre of said plates.
  • the end of the first spiralled guide plate facing towards the inlet end, and/or the end of the second spiralled guide plate facing towards the outlet end can comprise a zigzag angle bend.
  • the shorter plate piece can comprise a number of holes in which there are placed magnets, the length of which at least corresponds to the thickness of the shorter plate piece.
  • first spiralled guide plate in the end nearest the second spiralled guide plate comprises a non-spiralled piece in which magnets are placed in a corresponding manner.
  • the effect can also be achieved when the second guide plate in the end nearest the first spiralled guide plate comprises a non-spiralled piece in which magnets are placed.
  • the straight, tubular element can be separated into several parts at water-tight and pressure-tight joints.
  • the passages in which the spiralled guide plates are housed can with advantage have the same length.
  • the tubular element can have a length of 0.01mm - 25 m, for example 0.01-0.1mm, 0.1-0.2mm, 0.2-0.3 mm, 0.3-0.4mm, 0.4-0.5mm, 0.5-0.6mm, 0.6-0.7mm, 0.7-0.8mm, 0.8-0.9mm, 0.9-1.0mm, 1-2mm, 2- 3mm, 3-4mm, 4-5mm, 5-6mm, 6-7mm, 7-8mm, 8-9mm, 9-10mm, 1-2cm, 2-3cm, 3- 4cm, 4-5cm, 5-6Cm 1 6-7cm, 7-8cm, 8-9cm, 9-10cm,10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, 30-40 cm, 40-50 cm.
  • the opening in the tubular element can have a diameter between 0.01 mm and 2m, for example 0.01-1.0 mm, 1.0-10 mm, 10-20 mm, 20-30 mm, 30-40 mm, 40-50 mm, 50-60 mm, 60-70 mm, 70-80 mm, 80-90 mm, 90-100 mm, 10-20 cm, 20-30 cm, 30-40 cm, 40-50 cm, 50-60 cm, 60-70 cm, 70-80 cm, 80-90 cm, 90-100 cm, 1 ,1-1 ,2 m, 1 ,2-1 ,3 m, 1 ,3-1 ,4 m, 1 ,4-1 ,5 m, 1 ,5- 1 ,6 m, 1 ,6-1 ,7 m, 1 ,7-1

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (2) destiné au traitement de l'eau et/ou de liquides, ledit dispositif comprenant un élément tubulaire (3, 4, 6) comprenant deux passages (11, 13) qui abritent une première plaque de guidage (10) et une seconde plaque de guidage (14), lesdites plaques étant disposées en spirale en directions opposées autour de leurs axes centraux (18), ledit élément tubulaire droit (3, 4, 6) abritant également un élément en forme de plaque, droit et plus petit (60, 62) qui est disposé entre la première plaque de guidage en spirale (10) et la seconde plaque de guidage en spirale (14), de manière à ce que les extrémités de l'élément plus court en forme de plaque (60, 62), qui font face aux plaques de guidage en spirale, forment une extension de et soient au même niveau que les extrémités correspondantes des plaques de guidage en spirale (10, 14). Les plaques de guidage (10, 14) divisent les passages de l'élément tubulaire en deux parties ou plus, dans lesquelles de l'eau et/ou des liquides peuvent s'écouler, selon une direction préférée de l'écoulement, en fonction de l'hémisphère dans lequel le dispositif est installé, les particules contenues dans l'eau, p. ex. la chaux, ne formant pas de dépôt dans une station d'épuration de l'eau ultérieure, ni dans les tuyaux, ni au niveau des dérivations. Le dispositif (2) a également un effet avantageux sur la qualité de nombreux autres aspects des liquides qui sont traités par un écoulement au travers du dispositif.
