Description

 MAGNETIC DEVICE FOR WATER TREATMENT AND OTHERS

 FLUIDS

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

An object of the present invention is to propose a device and its manufacturing method for the magnetic treatment of water that moves through pipes, in order to pulverize the crystals of the contained salts and prevent the formation of mineral sediments.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

There have long been devices that apply a magnetic field to water, which contains dissolved salts that are mostly abundant in the form of carbonates, bicarbonates, sulfates and chlorides present as calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Sodium (Na) in the form of mixtures with their respective anions and cations.

The effect of the incidence of magnetic forces on dissolved salts in water reduces the size of the crystals by making them smaller as a spray effect increasing the solubility from the salts and converting the calcite which is the form of carbonates that favor the encrustation, in aragonite which is not encrustating. Which we can say that the field generated by the magnetized force converts a chemically hard water into a physically soft water.

The use of this method of water treatment is increasingly gaining ground in industry, agriculture, medicine, aquaculture, livestock industry and all those processes where water is a means of service or input, since in addition to avoid and remove scale, the benefits it generates are mainly savings and reduce the emission or discharge of pollutants into the environment. Existing devices generally employ permanent magnets and electromagnets to generate the magnetic fields but the resulting effects can be diverse, in some cases the amount of embedded in pipes is greatly reduced with the effect of the magnetic field, but there may also be the case that such effect be minimal

Water magnetization is a pseudoscientific process that seeks to alter the properties of water, and in particular reduce its hardness, through a magnetic field, without using the chemical agents that are commonly used, such as ion exchange resins or chelating ligands or physical processes such as distillation or precipitation of lime by heating.

There is consensus in the scientific community about the fact that magnetized water or magnetized water remains diamagnetic and therefore the term leads to confusion. Liquids and gases, in general, are not likely to have permanent magnetization, although they may be paramagnetic or have ferromagnetic particles in suspension that do interact with the magnetic field while they are subjected to it, to get messy immediately when the field is canceled. It has not been possible to attest to this pseudoscientific procedure to date.

Some authors indicate that studies of the effect of the magnetic field on nucleation processes have not been satisfactorily studied, and that it is conceivable that the effect of air oxygen or dissolved iron ions, in combination with turbulence phenomena, have some effect on those processes; In any case, if these processes exist, they have not been scientifically proven.

Magnetic equipment for water treatment, using magnets, permanent or transient, date back to 1952, when the representatives of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology presented at the International Water Conference a work called "Prevent Magnetically Embedding." These artifacts that do not allow the adhesions of sles (inlays), what is commonly known as tartar, from salt is mineral is, especially Calcium and Magnesium which are those that give permanent hardness to the water.

This equipment works based on a permanent magnetic field that interacts with the physical-electrical properties of the signals by altering their crystalline qualities, making the crystals acquire an ovoidal shape instead of the normally cubic conformation, which does not allow Adhesion to metal walls.

Given the technical foundation, the scope of this equipment is virtually unlimited since it can be used in all those facilities where water is transported.

This type of equipment is effective to keep these facilities free of saline deposits, at the same time in those systems that have suffered and retain the harmful effect of the encrustation, caused by erosion of the ovoidal microcrystals that are in migratory activity, the cleaning, dragging and disappearance of the inlay layer. Because this is a physical and non-chemical procedure that nothing adds or removes it to the water, but it does precipitate them solid as a muddy sediment that is easily removed and is removed by purges (faucets, shower heads, bottom valves, etc.). Some of the mineral contents are deposited as a thin protective layer over the water passages; This protection is valuable as it keeps the system from corrosive influences. But since it is fundamentally an artifact to prevent fouling, it is advisable to continue with the addition of chemicals that prevent corrosion and produce film protections.

There is also the disadvantage that some commercial water treatment devices that employ magnetic fields from permanent magnets have been unable to treat the water flowing through large tubes that are commonly used in municipal water supply or channels of irrigation.

From the following invention it can be shown that magnetic treatments impact salts that travel in water, for example, carbonates spray them, and thereby can increase water solubility, can also prevent the formation of tartar or inlays in pipe walls.

Also known is the fact that the electrical conductivity of water changes due to the effect of magnetism by 8 to 10%.

The advantages of the present invention are diverse, in particular there is the possibility of using small diameter pipes, smaller than three inches, up to 40 inches in pipes where water travels.

The devices can be manufactured with permanent magnets placed on the outside of the pipes or, with magnets that are placed inside said pipes, in particular for those with diameters greater than those of inches.

It is particularly advantageous that the devices can be manufactured with enough magnets, to cover the entire tube where the water travels, with a magnetic field strong enough to spray most of the crystals of the salts that travel in the Water. It is known that sediment formation is due to the existence of minerals dissolved in water and that the molecules of said minerals, like water molecules circulate in a completely disorderly manner. The molecules can be ordered by proper polarization, which can minimize the problem of sedimentation.

Therefore, the device of the present invention has been conceived and structured in order to solve most of the problems that arise with the use of existing devices in the market.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION PE THE INVENTION.

The present invention relates to devices for magnetic water treatment that can be concentric tube equipment with external magnets and string equipment with internal magnets.

Concentric tube devices with external magnets are essentially characterized in that they are constructed from elongated and hollow tubes, of varying exterior configuration, with various materials, which may include 40-80 PVC cards, or stainless steel. The diameters of the pipes range from ½ to 4 inches and according to the invention, on said tubes a group of magnets are placed in a linear or transverse way to the water flow. Said concentric tube devices are designed considering parameters such as the speed of the water flow and the physicochemical quality of the water to be treated, and according to the required magnetic field, permanent magnets are placed on the tube through which the water circulates. These magnets are covered by another tube of larger diameter which serves as a shell.

The version of the present invention, which considers concentric tubes, includes caps or side caps and threaded or flanged parts as required by the design. The present invention also presents the version of a device of strings or inner hands which is characterized in that it can be constructed from an elongated and hollow tube, mainly with stainless steel material, in diameters ranging from 4 to 36 inches .

According to the invention, segments of fixed strings of various geometries are placed inside said tube, in particular it is considered a prismatic or cylindrical configuration, and the materials can be stainless steel or steel material such as the Commercial PTR. Inside these prisms or tubes, permanent magnet groups are placed.

An important advantage of the present invention is the fact that said prisms or tubes have, at the end, where the water flows, a pyramidal or conical shape to reduce pressure drops.

Another advantage is the way of placing the permanent magnets inside the housings or container tubes, where strings are proposed inside metal containers by establishing bridges between the groups of magnets, managing to reinforce their magnetic action and minimize the dispersion of the magnetism.

 In a preferred content of the invention, the unit the magnetic water treatment device may have means that allow permanent magnets to be connected in series. Each permanent magnet may have one or more pairs of magnets oriented such that the south pole of the second magnet is parallel to the north pole of the first magnet.

An advantage of the present invention is the fact that the permanent magnets are protected inside the metal prisms or in pipes, in this way it is avoided that said magnets can break when the devices suffer some type of accident. The permanent magnets used in the present invention can be of any convenient class, such as: neodymium iron boron or hard ferrite (ceramic) or Samarium Cobalt. For larger pipes, magnetic treatment sets may be required, for this, parameters such as: the level of contamination or salinity of the water and the volumetric expense are considered. The force of the magnet and the distance between the magnets must also be considered. permanent acting together.

The present invention provides treated water through magnetic fields where said water can have the following characteristics: a) Increase in solubility to reduce the amount of fertilizers that are applied in crops and the use of chemical products. b) Increase in permeability resulting in greater ease to hydrate the soil where the plants have been sown. c) Increased solubility and reduced water viscosity to treat soils with high salinity contents.

 It has been observed that the lands or soils that are irrigated with the magnetic treatment equipment, when the irrigation water touches the ground, it tends to go down so deep until it mixes with the groundwater, this due to the effect that the magnetic field exerts on the minerals that travel with the water and that makes these salts break in sizes 10 times smaller than the original ones and lose their form of calcite to become aragonite, becoming more soluble and losing their amorphous form, allowing it to pass from one Easier way the walls of the soil without staying on the surface of the arable layer of agricultural soil.

This represents a great benefit to the soil since in most soils where the water does not permeate, the salts or crystals of the minerals in the form of calcium, magnesium or sodium chloride carbonates, fail to filter the soil due to its large and amorphous size which facilitates the adhesion with the clays and keeping the salts and minerals at superficial levels converting the salubrious soils. Due to the influence of the magnetic field on the water, it is also ionized and ordered, taking a positive charge on its minerals and salts, by touching the magnetized irrigation water the agricultural soil which is with a negative charge, a physical effect happens from which opposite poles tend to attract allowing the exposure of clays and generating flocculation and exposing a softer and looser soil.

This allows the soil to retain moisture to a greater extent, causing irrigation times to decrease and frequencies to expand. With the effect of flocculation or decompaction of the soil, it is observed mainly in the results of the foliar analyzes, performed, there is a greater presence of available nutrients that are trapped or encapsulated in the clays and that due to the effect of the loads between the water (+) and soil (-), these are released and used by the plant.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With respect to figure 1 where a perspective view of the device for magnetic water treatment is presented, said figure represents the model containing permanent magnets inside metal prisms (2) near the center of the tube or the magnets are also represented permanent (4) that are located near the walls of the tube. According to Figure 1, the device with permanent magnets inside the duct (1), which can be made of stainless steel material, can be designed with an appropriate number of permanent magnets that are placed inside strings in various locations within said tube 1. The magnets are supported within rectangular ducts (3) and square ducts (13) near the center of the tube (1). Also in square ducts (14) next to the walls of said tube.

All pipelines form a pyramid at the end where the water is fed, and this form minimizes pressure drops. The magnetic water treatment device may include a flange (6) for installation in the system pipes.

The method for manufacturing a device for magnetic water treatment is described in Figures 2 through 15, and according to said figures the procedure can consider the following aspects: a) Measure and cut the shell tube (1). b) Measure and cut the square prism that will serve as support (3) that can be from a commercial PTR (2). c) Measure and cut supports (3) for permanent magnets from the commercial PTR, according to figure (4). d) Weld support (3) of permanent magnets on commercial PTR (2) according to figure (5) and polish welds. e) Place permanent magnets inside the supports (3) based on the arrangement and design of the device, and cover said supports. f) Place the arrangement considered by the PTR (2) and the permanent magnet supports (3) on the support plates (8) according to figure 6.

g) Weld concentric screeds (9) on the support screeds (8) according to figure 7. h) Prepare prismatic strings (10) to support the permanent magnets, for which cuts are made to the PTR pieces (2) according to figure 8. i) Place permanent magnets inside the strings based on the arrangement and design according to figure 9. j) Bend and weld the end of the magnet holder to form prisms according to figure 0. k) Weld strings (13) on the concentric hearth (9) according to the arrangement and design, on the inside and also weld strings (14) on the outside of said concentric hearth (9) according to Figure 1 1 .

I) Weld hood of the water magnetizing device according to figure 12. In relation to figures 14, 15 and 16, the concentric tube devices are shown where the magnets are placed on the surface of the tube through which the water flows. Figure 14 shows a concentric tube device where the pipe (1) through which water circulates is lined by strings (17) containing permanent magnets, and according to the manufacturing method, said strings are held by a clamp (18) , until the armor tube (18) is placed as indicated in Figure 15.

Figure 16 shows a concentric tube device to which tubes (20) have been placed to support the permanent magnets.
