Description

Technical field

The invention relates to an ion polarization unit for the physical treatment of water with increased activity, intended for the physical treatment of water in closed and open systems, in particular to prevent the formation of scale in heat exchangers, cooling systems, boilers, condensers, drinking and service water distribution and the like.

Prior art

In the prior art, there are a number of known devices dealing with the ionic polarization of liquids, for example UV 892, UV 4881 and UV 7053, which represent ionic polarization units for water treatment and are development series of one inventor. They represent a flow vessel with an inlet and outlet opening, inside which are placed at least two electrodes of different electrically conductive material and different shapes, individual solutions are aimed at increasing efficiency either by enlarging the electrode areas or by adding more electrode segments with different conductivity. Also known is the Ión Scale Buster for galvanic water treatment, inside which there is a pure zinc anode mounted in a brass housing and Teflon chambers connected in series. Said device forms a galvanic cell with water, which releases a small amount of zinc into the water stream, which in turn promotes the agglomeration of the substances present in the water.

The essence of the invention

The essence of the technical solution is an ion polarization unit for physical treatment of water with increased activity on the galvanic principle, which consists of an inlet, which is watertightly connected to one end of a tube of dielectric material, inside which are alternately placed polarizing electrodes made of sheet metal in the shape of spirals. each of which is of a different kind of electrically conductive material, such as e.g. aluminum, brass, zinc, copper, silver, titanium, platinum or alloys of these metals. In front of and / or behind, and / or between the electrodes, at least one fixed or movable insulating spacer flow ring can be placed, which is made of a dielectric material, such as plastic, ceramic, and has the shape of a ring containing fixed distribution vanes not exceeding the width in its inner circumference. rings which are mounted at an angle of 15 ° to 85 ° to the transverse axis of the ring. Insulating spacer flow rings ensure that there is no conductive connection between the electrodes and at the same time cause the flowing water stream to be directed and to have a helical, abbreviated course.

Since the capacity of the galvanic cell also depends on the size of the electrode area, they are designed so that their area, which the flowing water washes, is as large as possible and at the same time to give the flowing water as little resistance and thus low pressure drop.

These electrodes are made of sheet metal and have several variations. The advantage of these devices is the simple cheap production of electrodes and the large capacity of galvanic cells.

Because the dimensions, and thus the areas of the electrodes, are limited by the dimensions of the structure, the efficiency can only be increased by increasing the path of the water along the areas of the individual electrodes. This is achieved by the insulating spacer flow rings located in front of and / or between and / or behind the electrodes being made of dielectric material and the fixed distribution vanes inside the insulating spacer flow rings causing the flowing water stream not to be linear but abbreviated, spiral, spiral. on the electrode surfaces, thus prolonging the contact of the flowing water with the electrode surfaces several times.

Overview of figures in the drawings

The technical solution is further elucidated by means of the drawings, in which Figure 1 shows an ion polarization unit with insulating spacer flow rings, which are located in front of, behind and between the individual electrodes, Figure 2 shows an insulating spacer flow ring with vanes.

Examples of embodiments of the invention

The ion polarization unit for the physical treatment of water with increased activity consists of an inlet opening 1, which is watertightly connected to one end of a tube 2 of dielectric material, inside which are alternately placed at least two polarizing electrodes 3 made of spiral sheet metal, each being of another type of electrically conductive material, such as aluminum, brass, zinc, copper, silver, titanium, platinum or alloys of these metals. In front of and / or behind, and / or between the polarizing electrodes 3 is placed at least one fixed or movable insulating spacer flow ring 7, which is made of a dielectric material, such as plastic, ceramic, and which has the shape of a ring containing fixed distribution in its inner circumference. vanes 8 not exceeding the width of the ring 9, which are mounted at an angle of 15 ° -85 ° to the transverse axis 5 of the ring 9. Insulating spacer flow rings 7 ensure that there is no conductive connection between the polarizing electrodes 3 and at the same time cause the flowing water flow to be directed. and has a spiral, abbreviated course. The outlet opening 5 is connected to the pipe 6.

Since the dimensions, and thus the surfaces of the polarizing electrodes 3, are limited by the dimensions of the structure, the efficiency can only be increased by increasing the water path along the surfaces 4 of the individual polarizing electrodes 3. This is achieved by placing insulating spacer flow rings 7 in front of and / or between and / or behind the polarizing electrodes 3 are made of dielectric material and the fixed distribution vanes 8 inside the insulating spacer flow rings 7 cause the flowing water stream not to have a linear but abbreviated, helical course over the surfaces 4 of the polarizing electrodes 3, thus prolonging the contact several times. water with surfaces 4 of polarizing electrodes 3.
