Abstract
A liquid ioniser (5) comprising: a canister (6, 7, 9, 11) housing at least one tubular member (8), said at least one tubular member containing an electrically conductive liquid; a longitudinally extending probe member (10) insertable into each said tubular member, and, means (12, 13) for ingress and egress of said liquid into and out from said canister; wherein upon establishment of an electric current flow between said probe member and said tubular member, said probe member is caused to deposit ions in said liquid contained in said tubular member.
Claims
1. A liquid ioniser comprising: a canister housing at least one tubular member, said at least one tubular member containing an electrically conductive liquid; a longitudinally extending probe member insertable into each said tubular member, and, an inlet and an outlet port respectively for ingress and egress of the liquid into and out from said canister; wherein upon establishment of an electric current flow between said probe member and said tubular member, said probe member is caused to deposit ions in said liquid contained in said tubular member.
2. A liquid ioniser according to claim 1, wherein the liquid ioniser is a water ioniser.
3. A liquid ioniser according to either one of claims 1 or 2, wherein the canister includes at least one aperture that is aligned with each said tubular member for receiving each respective probe member.
4. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each probe is attached or secured to the canister.
5. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each tubular member is a hollow cylinder.
6. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each tubular member has an aperture in a side thereof to allow ionised liquid to flow out therefrom into said canister.
7. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each tubular member forms a cathode during electrolysis.
8. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each probe member can be inserted through the at least one aperture.
9. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein each probe forms an anode during electrolysis.
10. A liquid ioniser according to claim 9, wherein each probe is at least partially formed from a metal that is required for ionising into the liquid.
11. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the inlet port allows the liquid to flow directly through the tubular member.
12. A liquid ioniser according to claim 11, wherein the outlet port enables the ionised liquid to exit the canister.
13. A liquid ioniser according to either one of the claims 11 or 12, wherein the inlet port comprises a guide channel in a base member of the canister to distribute the liquid to each said tubular member.
14. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, and further comprising: a variable power supply for supplying an output current to the probe members, and a liquid flow detector for supplying a signal indicative of liquid flow through the canister to an input of the variable power supply, wherein output current generated by the variable power supply is proportional to the detected liquid flow.
15. A liquid ioniser according to any one of the preceding claims, and further comprising: a liquid bypass path interconnecting the inlet and outlet ports, and 10
a flow-proportioning device for maintaining a constant liquid flow rate through the canister and diverting excess liquid flow through the liquid bypass path.
