ABSTRACT:
A device for treating fluids with magnetic lines of force includes an electrically isolated non-magnetic, metallic conduit through which the fluid passes. An electromagnetic coil surrounds the conduit and is electrically insulated from the conduit. The coil is clad with a magnetic housing or shunt, and fins surrounding the coil dissipate heat generated by the coil. A core consisting of a single cylindrical magnetic section or a series of endwise connected alternating short sections of magnetic and nonmagnetic material is disposed within the conduit along the conduit's axis at a location which is offset downstream from the coil. A helical baffle located between the conduit and the core, or, alternately, a driven impeller, provides circular flow for the fluid so that the fluid crosses the lines of magnetic force extending between the ends of the core and the metallic shunt in a 90.degree. relationship therewith. The baffle does not extend over the coil, and the conduit is provided with its own independent ground. Also, iron salts are added to the fluid prior to reaching the core to enhance the prevention of scale.
