ABSTRACT:
The present invention is drawn to a method and apparatus for treating electrically conductive fluid. In once such apparatus, positive and negative electrodes of electrically conductive materials having different electrochemical potentials are spaced apart. At least one of the electrodes has a covering of electrically insulative material extending substantially therearound. Thus, the only electroconductive connection that develops an electrochemical potential between the electrodes is established by a capacitive effect through the fluid to be treated, which fluid is passed between the electrodes. Accordingly, when a body of electrically conductive fluid to be treated is interposed between the electrodes, an electroconductive connection between the electrodes is established through the body of fluid by a capacitive effect and the fluid is ionized. In the apparatus above, by providing at least one of the electrodes with a covering of electrically insulative material, current flow between the electrodes is inhibited which contributes to the efficiency of the apparatus in ionizing fluid, even fluid having a high degree of electroconductive capability.
