Abstract

A water treatment apparatus comprises a source 4 of monochromatic light, e.g. a laser, the axis whereof is aligned with a geometric center of an inlet port 3 of a section A in a water line 1. The section A is made of transparent material and a coil 2 connected to an electric power source surrounds the section A. Suitably, a beam of light emitted by the source 4 is periodically interrupted by a screen 5 attached to a core 6 of an electromagnet 7 connected in series through a timer 8 to a circuit comprising the coil 2 and the electric power source. This apparatus can be used in various fields of agriculture and industry wherein water with stimulating properties is required as a solvent, e.g. grain germination. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION Water treatment apparatus The present invention relates to the field of water treatment, and more particularly, to water treatment facilities.
The invention can most advantageously be used in various fields of agriculture and industry wherein water with stimulating properties is required as a solvent (for example, in medicine, biology, chemistry, food industry, etc.).
According to the present invention, there is provided a water treatment apparatus comprising a water line mounting a coil connected to an electric power source, and a source of monochromatic light arranged so that the axis thereof is aligned with a geometric centre of an inlet port in a section of the water line, this section being made of transparent material.
Preferably, a circuit is composed of the coil and electric power source and, in series with the coil through a timer, an electromagnet mounting on its core a screen serving for periodic interruption of a beam of light.
It is preferable that a laser be used as a source of monochromatic light.
The nature of the present invention will be clear from the following description.
Water is supplied through a cylindrical water line at laminar conditions. Walls of the water line are manufactured from reflecting material, and an inlet end port is made of optical quartz to admit a coherent monochromatic beam of light through one section of the water line. To maintain the radiation parameters (such as coherence and energy flux density across the beam), the source of light is positioned so that the axis thereof is aligned with a geometric centre of said inlet port in the section of the water line, with the diameter of the water line made equal to that of the beam of light.
The high monochromatic level and density of radiation at one or another wave length are favorable for the selective interaction of water molecules radiation to produce electrons and ions.
The selective interaction is improved by the use of an electromagnetic coil serving for induction of a constant or pulsed electromagnetic field. In the case of the pulsed field, the best efficiency is achieved when light and electromagnetic pulses are synchronous. The pulse energy is adjustable in the range from 20 mW to 30kW according to the output of the apparatus.
The apparatus of the present invention can advantageously be used for various procedures where activated water is required to accelerate metabolic processes, as, for example, in the event of grain germination.
The invention will become more fully apparent from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, which shows a water treatment apparatus according to the invention.
Referring now to the drawing, apparatus comprises a water line 1 provided with an inlet port 2 made of optical quartz. The water line 1 passes a laminar water flow. An electromagnetic coil 3 mounted on the water line 1 is connected to an electric power source (not shown in the drawing). The coil 3 induces an electromagnetic field in the water flowing through the water line 1.
A source 4 of monochromatic light is arranged on a geometric axis of the inlet port 2. It is possible that a laser be used as a source of monochromatic light.
Light radiated by the source intersects one section of the water line 1, wherefore the section A is made of transparent material. A screen 5 located between the source 4 of light and the section A of the water line 1 periodically shuts off the beam of light. Said screen 5 is attached to a core 6 of an electromagnet 7 series-connected to a circuit comprising the coil 3 and the power source thereof. The electromagnet 7 is connected to the power source of the coil 3 through a timer 8.
The apparatus operates as follows.
The water flow is directed through the water line 1 , whereto the electromagnetic coil 3 is attached. Said water flow is exposed both to the electromagnetic field and to the monochromatic light radiated by the source 4, with the axis thereof passing through the geometric centre of the inlet port 2 in the section of the water line 1.
The section A of the water line 1 passing the beam of light is made of transparent material. While the water flow is exposed to radiation, the timer 8 switches on the power source of the coil 3 and lifts the screen 5 by pulling in the movable core 6 of the electromagnet 7. As a result, the beam of light reaches the section A of the water line 1.
During the next operating cycle, the timer 8 disconnects the electric power source of the coil 3, whereby the screen 5 moves down and shuts off the beam radiated by the source of monochromatic light. Hence, the apparatus according to the present invention operates under pulsed conditions.
Since pulses of monochromatic light are synchronous with electromagnetic oscillations, the resulting resonance improves the effect of radiation on the water flow.
Investigations have proved that it is possible to design an apparatus, wherein two sources of monochromatic light are axially aligned and directed in opposition to form a radiation zone. In this case, the use of the electromagnet in assembly with the screen is not expedient because the efficiency of such an apparatus is equivalent to that described hereinabove.
Thus, the apparatus of this invention provides for higher stability of the activation properties of water.
